 thought applied to any kind of hostile approach,, ,  (cf. ), &c.; even after verbs which express a mental action, e.g.  any one, &c.

4. Sometimes a preposition appears to be under the immediate government of a verb, which, by its meaning, excludes such a union. In reality the preposition is dependent on a verb (generally a verb of motion), which, for the sake of brevity, is not expressed, but in sense is contained in what is apparently the governing verb.

Various examples of this constructio praegnans have been already noticed above in x and y under ; for cf. also  and saved me from the horns of the wild oxen (in, which Delitzsch translates by thou hast loved and delivered my soul from the pit, read  with the LXX); , , ; cf. also  to go a whoring from any one i.e. to be unfaithful to him;   = to depart wickedly from God;   to be silent from one (to turn away in silence); cf.

5. In poetic parallelism the governing power of a preposition is sometimes extended to the corresponding substantive of the second member; e.g.,  he shall perform his pleasure  shall be  (for ) on the Chaldaeans; ;  ,  (but probably  has fallen out after another ), ,  (perhaps also ;  may, however, be taken here as a second accusative according to );  ;  ,  (unless  is to be read);  ;.

6. Adverbs which have acquired a substantival value are sometimes governed by prepositions, e.g., ; ;  then, on this condition;  and ;.
