FETCH

Has generally the meaning of "to bring"; it is commonly the translation of Hebrew laqach, "to take" or "lay hold of," Hoph. "to be brought, seized or snatched away" (Genesis 18:4, etc.; Genesis 27:9; Genesis 42:16 1 Samuel 4:3 1 Kings 17:10, etc.); twice of nasa', "to lift up" (2 Chronicles 12:11, the American Standard Revised Version "bare"; Job 36:3); of bo', "to come in" (2 Chronicles 1:17 Nehemiah 8:15); of `alah, "to cause to come up" (1 Samuel 6:21; 1 Samuel 7:1); of yatsa', "to cause to come out" (Numbers 20:10, the American Standard Revised Version "bring forth"; Jeremiah 26:23), and of a number of other words.

In the New Testament it is the translation of exago, "to lead out" (Acts 16:37, "Let them come themselves and fetch us out," the Revised Version (British and American) "bring"); "to fetch a compass" is the translation of cabhabh (Numbers 34:5 Joshua 15:3, the Revised Version (British and American) "turn," "turned about"; 2 Samuel 5:23, the Revised Version (British and American) "make a circuit"; 2 Kings 3:9, the Revised Version (British and American) "made a circuit"); of perierchomai (aor. 2, perielthon), "to go about," "to wander up and down" (of a ship driven about; Acts 28:13, the Revised Version (British and American) "made a circuit," margin "some ancient authorities read cast loose").

The Revised Version (British and American) has "fetch" for "bring" (1 Kings 3:24), for "call for" (Acts 10:5; Acts 11:13); "fetched" for "called for" (Esther 5:10), for "took out" (Jeremiah 37:17); "fetched" for "took" (2 Chronicles 8:18).
