Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

[צָנַח] verb descend (meaning inferred from context); —

Qal Imperfect 3 feminine singular וַתִּצְנַח מֵעַל הַחֲמוֺר Judges 1:14 = Joshua 15:18 and she descended (alighted) from the ass; בָּאָרֶץ׳וַתּ Judges 4:21 and it (the tent-peg) went down into the ground.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

צָנַח to descend, to let oneself down, e.g. from an ass, Judges 1:14; Joshua 15:18 also used of inanimate things. Judges 4:21, “she struck the nail into his temples, וַתּצְנַח בָּאָרֶץ and it went down into the earth.” (Cogn. is جنح to bow down, see the concluding remark under the letter, p. 698, A.)
