Near synonyms 1 word

תָּלָא tâlâʼ · H8511 · to hang, to be determined, to be bent (on doing something): Both lexemes denote hanging. תָּלָא (tâlâʼ, H8511) also carries extended metaphorical senses ("hang in doubt," think, unsafe), but its core concrete sense of physical hanging overlaps with תָּלָה (tâlâh, H8518)'s narrower "hang (up)" meaning — a near-synonym pairing in that concrete sense.

In the other Testament 1 word

κρεμάννυμι kremánnymi · G2910 · to make to hang, to be hung from, to crucify: Greek κρεμάννυμι directly renders Hebrew תָּלָה with the same core sense of physical suspension or hanging.
