( שׁלח , shālaḥ ; ἀποστέλλω , apostéllō ): "Sent" in the Old Testament is the translation of shālaḥ , "to send" (of presents, messengers, etc., Genesis 32:18; Genesis 44:3; Judges 6:14; 1 Kings 14:6; Esther 3:13; Proverbs 17:11; Jeremiah 49:14; Ezekiel 3:5; Ezekiel 23:40; Daniel 10:11; Obadiah 1:1 ); of shelaḥ , Aramaic (Ezra 7:14; Daniel 5:24 ); of shilluḥı̄m , "sending" (Exodus 18:2 ); in the New Testament of apostellō , "to send off" or "away," "to send forth" (John 9:7 , "the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent)"); compare Luke 13:4; Nehemiah 3:15 , the pool of Siloah, the Revised Version (British and American) "Shelah"; Isaiah 8:6 , "the waters of Shiloah that go softly," where Septuagint has Silōam for Hebrew shilōaḥ , "a sending," which, rather than "Sent," is the original meaning - a sending forth of waters. See SILOAM }. "Sent" is also the translation of apóstolos , "one sent forth" (the original of the familiar word "apostle"); in John 13:16 , "one that is sent" (margin, "Greek 'an apostle'"); compare Hebrews 1:14 .
