The act of sending was not merely logistical but carried a sense of authority and purpose, often reflecting the will of a leader or deity. Missions or expeditions were common in the context of trade, warfare, and diplomacy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7971.htm">shalach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a discharge, deputation, sending<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>band (1), discharge (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מִשְׁלַ֫חַת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine 1.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>discharge</b></font>; <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>deputation, sending</b></font>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בַּמִּלְח</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אֵין מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/8-8.htm">Ecclesiastes 8:8</a> <em>there is no discharge in war.</em> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> construct <font class="hebrew2">מַלְאֲכֵי רָעִים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/78-49.htm">Psalm 78:49</a> <em>a deputation</em> (or sending) of angels of evil. <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">שׁלח</font> (√ of following; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb102001.gif"> <em>strip off hide</em>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb102002.gif"> <em>piece of hide stripped off</em>; Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">שְׁלַח</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb102003.gif"> <em>take off</em> garment; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb102004.gif">, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">שִׁלְחָא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb102005.gif"> <em>hide</em>, perhaps also Palmyrene <font class="hebrew2">שלחא</font> (plural ?
