Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
Psalm 23:6The Hebrew verb translated “follow” is radaf, “pursue.” Here goodness and loving kindness are the ones pursuing the speaker.
The Egyptians pursued after them: all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army; and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Exodus 14:9Radaf describes Pharaoh’s army chasing Israel to the sea: the same verb can name a deadly pursuit.
