Usage: The verb נָשַׁל (nashal) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of removing or stripping away, often in the context of divesting or ejecting. It conveys the idea of something being plucked off or dropped, either literally or metaphorically.

Context: The Hebrew verb נָשַׁל (nashal) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often associated with the removal or stripping away of garments, possessions, or even people from a place. It is used to describe actions such as the shedding of leaves or the divestment of armor. The term can also imply a forceful ejection or expulsion, highlighting a sense of separation or detachment.

In the Berean Standard Bible, נָשַׁל is translated in contexts that emphasize the act of removal or displacement. For example, in Deuteronomy 7:1, the term is used to describe the Lord driving out nations before the Israelites: "When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations..." Here, the concept of ejecting or displacing is central to the narrative of the Israelites taking possession of the Promised Land.

The verb also appears in passages that describe the natural process of shedding, as in the case of trees losing their leaves, illustrating the broader application of the term beyond human actions to natural phenomena.
