חָלַץ châlats · H2502 · to take off, to take out, to remove
The Hebrew verb חָלַץ (ḥālaṣ) in its Qal stem means 'to draw out, arm oneself, equip for battle,' used in contexts of military preparation (e.g., Num 31:3, 32:20-21). While it lacks the intensive prefix of καθοπλίζω, it serves as a functional translation equivalent for the concept of arming/equipping for warfare.
