Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

זָרָה fut. יִזְרֶה, apoc. יִזֶר

(1) to scatter, to disperse (Arab. ذرى to disperse e.g. dust by the wind, II to winnow. Syr. and Chald. ܕܪܐ, דְּרָא. Kindred verbs, all of which have the sense of scattering, זָרַע, זָרַק, זָרַר No. II, also זָרַח Arab. دَرَأَ to sow. In the Indo-Germanic languages corresponding words are Sanscr. sri, to scatter, sĕro, and with the addition of p or t to the sibilant, Sanscr. stri, to spread out, στορέω, ftreuen, sterno; σπείρω, spargo, Goth. spreihan, Germ. fprühen, Spreu [English to strew]). Exodus 32:20; Numbers 17:2; Isaiah 30:22. Especially

(2) to winnow, Isaiah 30:24; Jeremiah 4:11; Ruth 3:2, הִנֵּה־הוּא זֹרֶה אֶת־גֹּרֶן הַשְּׂעֹרִים “behold he winnows his barn floor of barley.” Figuratively applied to the dispersion of enemies. Jeremiah 15:7; Isaiah 41:16; Ezekiel 5:2.

(3) to spread out generally, whence זֶרֶת a span.

Niphal to be scattered, Ezekiel 6:8, 36:19.

Piel זֵרָה

(1) to spread abroad, Proverbs 15:7, hence to scatter, to disperse, e.g. nations, Levit. 26:33 Ezekiel 5:10, 6:5 12:15 30:26 Proverbs 20:8, “a king … scatters away all evil with his look.”

(2) to winnow, Proverbs 20:26 and hence to winnow out, to shake out, and thus to examine thoroughly. Psalms 139:3, אָרְחִי וְרִבְעִי זֵרֵיתָ “thou hast searched me in my walking and in my lying down.” Jerome eventilasti. LXX. ἐξιχνίασας. (The figurative signification is found in the Arabic درى to know.)

Pual, to be scattered, Job 18:15 to be spread out, Proverbs 1:17. As to the form זֹרֶה Isaiah 30:24, which some place here, it is the participle of Kal used impersonally, and זֹרֶה Psalms 58:4, is from the root זוּר.
