and bringing
To approach, come near, or draw close, whether physically, relationally, or in a ritual or legal context. The verb במיוחד is used for physical proximity (approaching a place or person), but also in contexts of initiating speech, confrontation, violent engagement, or ritual act (such as presenting offerings). In some contexts, it carries the sense of bringing near (causative), either an object or oneself. The semantic range includes approach, advance, access (including in ritual settings), present (especially offerings), come forward (in legal or interrogative contexts), attack (as an enemy), and, euphemistically, to have sexual relations.
