While not a direct translation, it shares the thematic element of intentional arrangement and positioning.

Usage: The term שָׁלַב (shalab) is used in the context of arranging or spacing elements equidistantly. It implies an intentional and measured distribution or alignment.

Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁלַב (shalab) is a primitive root that conveys the action of spacing or arranging elements in a manner that is equidistant. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but its implications are significant in contexts where order and symmetry are emphasized. The concept of making things equidistant can be seen in architectural or ceremonial settings, where precision and balance are crucial. The verb suggests a meticulous and deliberate process, reflecting a broader biblical theme of order and harmony in creation and worship.
