מוֹצָא

Numbers 30:12 מוֹצָ֨א <the> utterance of

But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.

Numbers 33:2 מוֹצָאֵיהֶ֛ם לְמוֹצָאֵיהֶֽם׃ points of departure their, to points of departure their

At the LORD’s command, Moses recorded the stages of their journey. These are the stages listed by their starting points:

Deuteronomy 8:3 מוֹצָ֥א <the> utterance of

He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

Here: Literally 'a going-out', from the verb 'to go out'. With 'mouth' or 'lips' it means what someone utters: a pronouncement, vow or command. There is no separate noun 'word' in the Hebrew. This is the 'going-out' itself.

Deuteronomy 23:23 מוֹצָ֥א [the] utterance of

Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.

2 Samuel 3:25 מוֹצָֽאֲךָ֙ exit your

Surely you realize that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to track your movements and all that you are doing.”

1 Kings 10:28 וּמוֹצָ֧א and [the] export of

Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.

2 Kings 2:21 מוֹצָ֣א [the] outlet of

and Elisha went out to the spring, cast the salt into it, and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will it cause death or unfruitfulness.’”

Here: Literally 'the going-out place', the point where water comes out of the ground, i.e. the spring-head. Elisha treats the problem at its origin, not downstream.

2 Chronicles 1:16 וּמוֹצָ֧א and [the] export of

Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.

2 Chronicles 32:30 מוֹצָ֞א [the] outlet of

It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Spring of Gihon and channeled it down to the west side of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did.

Job 28:1 מוֹצָ֑א [is] a mine

“Surely there is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.

Job 38:27 מֹ֣צָא a going forth of

to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?

Psalm 19:6 מֽוֹצָא֗וֹ going forth its

it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Psalm 65:8 מ֤וֹצָֽאֵי־ [the] going<s> out of

Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

Here: "The goings-out of": the place or moment where something comes out. The sun's rising is its "going out" (Ps 19:6), and môṣāʾ alone can mean "the east" (Ps 75:6). Paired with morning and evening, it covers the far east and the far west, the whole horizon, along with dawn and dusk.

Psalm 75:6 מִ֭מּוֹצָא [is] from [the] going out

For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

Here: Literally 'from the going-out', short for the place where the sun 'goes out', that is, rises. So it means 'from the east'. Hebrew names directions by what the sun does.

Psalm 89:34 וּמוֹצָ֥א and [the] utterance of

I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.

Here: 'And what goes out of.' The noun comes from the verb 'to go out'. Joined to 'lips', it is the standard phrase for a spoken promise or vow, the words once released from the mouth.

Psalm 107:33 וּמֹצָ֥אֵי and springs of

He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,

Psalm 107:35 לְמֹצָ֥אֵי into springs of

He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.

Here: From the verb 'to go out'. A motsa of water is the place where water comes out of the ground: a spring. The plural suggests many springs. Unlike the pool in the first half, this is water that flows.

Isaiah 41:18 לְמוֹצָ֥אֵי <into> springs of

I will open rivers on the barren heights, and fountains in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water, and the dry land into flowing springs.

Here: 'Into places where water goes out'. The word comes from the verb 'to go out'. It means the points where water emerges from the ground: springheads and outflows.

Isaiah 58:11 וּכְמוֹצָ֣א and like a spring of

The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Here: Literally 'a going-out,' the place where water comes out of the ground: a spring. Gardens receive water, but a spring gives it.

Jeremiah 17:16 מוֹצָ֣א [the] utterance of

But I have not run away from being Your shepherd; I have not desired the day of despair. You know that the utterance of my lips was spoken in Your presence.

Here: 'What goes out.' Joined with 'lips', it is the stock phrase for words one is held to, as with vows (Num 30:12; Deut 23:23).

Ezekiel 12:4 כְּמוֹצָאֵ֖י like goings out of

Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.

Ezekiel 42:11 מוֹצָ֣אֵיהֶ֔ן exits their

with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.

Ezekiel 43:11 וּמוֹצָאָ֡יו and exits its

and if they are ashamed of all they have done, then make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement and its exits and entrances—its whole design along with all its statutes, forms, and laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.

Here: The ways out. Gates and access matter a great deal in Ezekiel's temple, because they control who may go where (44:5).

Ezekiel 44:5 מוֹצָאֵ֥י [the] exits of

The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.

Daniel 9:25 מֹצָ֣א [the] going forth of

Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress.

Here: "The going-out of." A noun from yatsa, "go out", and an echo of v. 23, where "a word went out (yatsa davar)" when Daniel began to pray.

Hosea 6:3 מֽוֹצָא֑וֹ going forth his

So let us know—let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.

Here: The point or act of going out, used for the sun's rising (Ps 19:6). God is pictured stepping out like the sun over the horizon.
