To go, move, proceed, or walk—a verb indicating movement from one place to another, whether by walking, traveling, or departing.

The verb can also be used causatively ('to lead, to bring, to carry') and in expressions meaning 'to follow, to pursue, to depart' or to indicate the passage or journey of time, life, or outcomes.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3212-18
he-caused-you to go
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root הלך ('to go, walk'), so the verb means 'to cause to go' or 'to lead.' The 3ms perfect with 2ms suffix is rendered as 'he-caused-you to go,' preserving both causation and the masculine singular object. |
