יָבַל yâbal · H2986 · to bring, to carry, to lead
Hebrew יָבַל emphasizes the act of bringing or leading forth (often of processions, tribute, or produce being brought), while Greek ἀποφέρω focuses on bearing or carrying away from a location (the preposition ἀπο- 'from' is inherent to the Greek compound); both share the core semantic domain of conveyance/transport, with directional nuance differing by prepositional force.
