Semantic domains 4 entries

Impact002001001024: This Impact code is inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping's “to rush (upon), to come (over); to possess, grip, take control” sense; this word's own occurrences describe the temple's building work succeeding and prospering, never someone rushing upon or taking control of another.
Succeed002003003020: Ezra 6:14 recounts that the elders of the Jews “were successful in building” the temple “and they finished building” it.
Stage002001001060: This same clause in Ezra 6:14 — the elders “were successful in building” — carries the shared lemma-cluster grouping's near-identical “to thrive; to flourish” sense as well, since the building's success is the same event as its flourishing.
Role002002002008: This Role code is inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping's idiomatic “to advance” = to become as queen sense; this word's own occurrences describe the temple's building work succeeding and prospering, never a person advancing to a royal role.
