to shed
To pour out, spill, or shed—primarily of liquids (such as water, blood, oil) but also extending by metaphor to non-physical outpouring, such as emotions or actions. In its basic sense, the verb denotes the act of causing something to flow from a container or source (e.g., to pour water), but it is used extensively for the shedding of blood (as in violence or sacrifice) and the outpouring of other substances (wine libations, molten metal). The term also appears metaphorically to indicate expending energy or life, or the release of emotion, such as pouring out one's soul or anger. Occasionally, in the intensive stem, it denotes casting up or piling up (as with earth), or causing something to be poured out completely, even to excess.

to pour out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל ("to"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct of שׁפך expresses the basic active sense of causing something to flow out from a source. "To pour out" captures the core idea of intentional outflow while remaining broad enough to include liquid, blood, or metaphorical outpouring. |
