1 Kings 20:23 בַּמִּישׁ֔וֹר on the level ground

Meanwhile, the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they prevailed over us. Instead, we should fight them on the plains; surely then we will prevail.

1 Kings 20:25 בַּמִּישׁ֔וֹר on the level ground

And you must raise an army like the one you have lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the king approved their plan and acted accordingly.

2 Chronicles 26:10 וּבַמִּישׁ֑וֹר and in the plain

Since he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hill country and in the fertile fields.

Psalm 26:12 בְמִישׁ֑וֹר on level ground

My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.

Here: "On level ground": flat, even terrain with no rocks to trip on and no slope to slide down, the opposite of slipping. The same word also means "uprightness, fairness", so the picture carries a moral side: a straight place to stand, where a person of integrity is kept safe. The Hebrew main pause falls here and splits the verse in two.

Psalm 27:11 מִישׁ֑וֹר level ground

Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

Here: Flat, even ground with nothing to trip over and nowhere for an ambusher to hide. The same word means moral evenness and fair judgment, so 'level path' also suggests an upright path.

Psalm 45:6 מִ֝ישֹׁ֗ר uprightness

Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

Here: 'Levelness.' The literal sense is flat, even ground. As a picture, it is a straight, fair rule that does not tilt toward the powerful. It describes what kind of scepter this is.

Psalm 67:4 מִישׁ֑וֹר uprightness

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You judge the peoples justly and lead the nations of the earth. Selah

Here: Literally 'level ground'. Here it describes how God judges: fairly, with no bias and no tilted scales.

Psalm 143:10 מִישֽׁוֹר׃ level ground

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Here: "Level ground". It comes from the root for "straight, upright". It means flat, even country where a person does not stumble and cannot easily be ambushed, and it also carries the moral sense of straightness, fairness and uprightness.

Isaiah 11:4 בְּמִישׁ֖וֹר with uprightness

but with righteousness He will judge the poor, and with equity He will decide for the lowly of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.

Here: Literally flat, even ground. Used of justice, it pictures a ruling with no slope tilted toward the rich or powerful, a level playing field.

Isaiah 40:4 לְמִישׁ֔וֹר <into> level ground

Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low; the uneven ground will become smooth, and the rugged land a plain.

Here: "Into level land": flat, even ground where walking is easy. The same word can also mean fairness or uprightness (Isa 11:4; Ps 45:6), so a faint moral note is possible, but the picture here is terrain.

Isaiah 42:16 לְמִישׁ֔וֹר <into> level ground

I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.

Here: Flat, even land such as a plateau or plain. The words echo 40:4, where the rough ground becomes a plain for the highway home.

Jeremiah 21:13 הַמִּישֹׁ֖ר the plain

Behold, I am against you who dwell above the valley, atop the rocky plateau—declares the LORD—you who say, “Who can come against us? Who can enter our dwellings?”

Here: 'Of the level ground / tableland'. Together with 'rock' it means a flat-topped rocky height. Elsewhere the same word means 'equity, uprightness', which may sound faintly against the call to do justice in the verse before.

Jeremiah 48:8 הַמִּישֹׁ֑ר the plain

The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.

Jeremiah 48:21 הַמִּישֹׁ֑ר the plain

Judgment has come upon the high plain—upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,

Zechariah 4:7 לְמִישֹׁ֑ר <into> level ground

What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”

Here: "To level ground!" There is no verb: the clause is an exclamation, "before Zerubbabel — flat!" The same word ends Isaiah 40:4, where every mountain is brought low for God's return.

Malachi 2:6 וּבְמִישׁוֹר֙ and in uprightness

True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.

Here: 'And in levelness'. Literally a flat plain, used for straight, even-handed conduct and fair judgment. With 'walked' it keeps the picture of a road: he walked on level, straight ground.
