KJV glosses

bestow, cast down, lay (down, up), leave (off), let alone (remain), pacify, place, put, set (down), suffer, withdraw, withhold. (The Hiphil forms with the dagesh are here referred to, in accordance with the older grammarians, but if any distinction of the kind is to be made, these should rather be referred to H5117 (נוּחַ), and the others here.)

A word’s possible definitions do not determine its meaning in every passage. Meaning is established by grammar, syntax, literary context, and usage.
