Root and etymology
Rootl-q-ḥ
“take”
In context — 2 Kings 18:32
Until I come and take you to a land like your land—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil and honey—so that you may live and not die. And do not listen to Hezekiah, for he is misleading you, saying, “The LORD will rescue us.”
