In the other Testament 3 words
- ἀποφέρω apophérō · G667 · to carry away, to take away, to lead off
- Greek ἀποφέρω emphasizes the 'bearing away/off' directionality (apo- prefix), whereas Hebrew יָבַל focuses on the general causative movement ('bring, carry, lead') without inherent directional specification—ἀποφέρω renders יָבַל in contexts where the movement involves removal or bearing away from a source.
- ἀπάγω apágō · G520 · to lead off, to lead away, to take away
- ἀπάγω (apágō, G520) ἀπάγω specifically denotes leading/taking away with emphasis on removal or departure from a location, rendering the 'lead forth' sense of יָבַל (yâbal, H2986) יָבַל in contexts where the movement involves taking someone/something away.
- φέρω phérō · G5342 · to carry, to bear, to take along
- Greek φέρω serves as the standard LXX rendering for Hebrew יָבַל in contexts of bringing/carrying/leading forth, representing the core transportation/conveyance semantics shared between both lexemes across their respective language domains.
