SIBI-P1 H4900-07

she drew out

Rootמשך (m-š-k)
Core Meaningsdrawing, pulling, stretching, extending, prolonging, leading
Semantic Rangeto draw out, pull, drag, extend, prolong, lead, delay, or stretch forth (e.g., a hand, a weapon, time, or a people).
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb often conveys the physical act of drawing or stretching out (such as a hand or weapon) and metaphorically the extension of time, mercy, or influence. It reflects the tangible, embodied imagery common in Biblical Hebrew, where extension or drawing out signifies decisive action or deliberate continuation.
Morphological NotesQal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person feminine singular from משך. Denotes a completed action by a feminine subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root משך conveys the action of drawing or stretching something out. The form מָשְׁכָה is Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular, indicating a completed action performed by a feminine subject; thus "she drew out" preserves both the core root sense of drawing/extension and the feminine singular verbal form.
