Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

נָחַת fut. יִנְחַת Psalms 38:3, and יֵחַת Proverbs 17:10, to descend; a root of frequent use in the Aramean, i.q.

Proverbs 17:10, תֵּחַת גְּעָרָה בְמֵבִין “correction goes down into (the mind of) the prudent” comp. Proverbs 18:8, 26:22 ); תֵּחַת is penacute; comp. Lehrg. § 51, 1, note 1.

Niphal נִחַת i.q. Kal Psalms 38:3, כִּי־חִצֶּיךָ נִחֲתוּ בִי “for thy arrows come down upon me,” they pierce me.

Piel נִחַת to press down.

(a) a bow, i.e. to bend it, Psalms 18:35.

(b) furrows, i.e. to smooth down (spoken of rain), Psalms 65:11.
