(It properly means to scatter rays, comp. the kindred words זָרָה, זָרַר. This root is variously changed in the cognate languages; hence in Arabic and Ethiopic شرق ሠረቀ፡, in Aramean דְּנַח, ܕܢܚܰ.)
(2) It is figuratively applied
(a) to leprosy breaking out in the skin,
(b) in the derivatives also to a fœtus breaking forth from the womb (see זֶרַח and Genesis 38:30), and
(c) to a plant springing up, i.q. פָּרַח, see אֶזְרָח.
