Fetch
“to send after of for” (meta, “after,” pemp, “to send”), in the Middle Voice, is translated “fetch” in the RV of Act 10:5; Act 11:13. See CALL.
Notes: (1) In Act 16:37, the RV gives to exago, “to bring out,” the adequate meaning “let them … bring us out,” for the AV, “let them fetch us out.” “Fetch” is not sufficiently dignified for the just demand made. (2) For Act 28:13, AV, “fetched a compass,” see CIRCUIT.
