Near synonyms 3 words

פָּשַׂק pâsaq · H6589 · to open wide, to spread: Both lexemes genuinely overlap in the "open" semantic space—פָּשַׂק (pâsaq, H6589) "open (wide)" and פָּתַח (pâthach, H6605) with its core sense "(be, be set) open(-ing)" are plausible same-language near-synonyms describing opening actions.
פָּטַר pâṭar · H6362 · exempt, to dismiss: Both words denote opening and can substitute for each other in contexts of releasing or opening.
פָּקַח pâqach · H6491 · to be open, to make see: The target lexeme and פָּקַח both denote opening in Hebrew usage — of eyes, ears, and the like — and are near-synonyms for the sense of enabling access or perception by opening.

In the other Testament 4 words

ἀνοίγω anoígō · G455 · to open, to make open, to regain one’s hearing: Greek ἀνοίγω serves as the primary Septuagint rendering of Hebrew פָּתַח across its core semantic range of 'opening' (doors, gates, eyes, mouth, womb), with both terms sharing the literal-to-figurative extension from physical opening to metaphorical disclosure or release.
διανοίγω dianoígō · G1272 · to open, to make open, to explain: διανοίγω (dianoígō, G1272) is the Greek equivalent of פָּתַח (pâthach, H6605) in contexts involving opening or unsealing, representing the standard LXX rendering of the Hebrew root's core sense of 'to open' with the intensified prefix δια- conveying thoroughness or completeness of the opening action.
λύω lýō · G3089 · to untie, to loosen, to release: Greek λύω specifically denotes loosening/releasing/untying with focus on unbinding constraint, corresponding to the subset of Hebrew פָּתַח senses involving opening through release of restraint (loose, ungird, set free), but not the broader Hebrew range including passive appearing, engraving, or generic opening without implied prior binding.
ἄνοιξις ánoixis · G457 · to address, to start speaking, to begin to speak: ἄνοιξις (ánoixis, G457) ἄνοιξις refers specifically to the act or state of opening (particularly in the phrase 'opening of the throat' in Psalm 5:9/LXX 5:10), representing a nominal form semantically derived from the verbal action denoted by פָּתַח (pâthach, H6605) פָּתַח.
