But apparently this word is derived from the verb
shalah and therefore meaning "peaceful, tranquil, quiet and
trust-worthy."
It is most likely that some old transcriber or copyist
currente calamo and with a slip of pen has detached the left
side of the final letter het, and then it has been transformed
into hi, for the two letters are exceedingly alike being onl-
very slightly different on the left side. If such an error has
been transmitted in the Hebrew manuscript - either inten-
tionally or not - then the word is derived from shalah, ' to
send, delegate," the past participle of which would be
shaluh - that is, "one who is sent, messenger."
But there appears no reasonable cause for a deliberate
shalah and therefore meaning "peaceful, tranquil, quiet and
trust-worthy."
