'Approached' in the Bible

As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians coming after them. Then the Israelites were terrified and cried out to the Lord for help.

[so that] it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And {it was a dark cloud}, but it gave light [to] the night, [so that] {neither approached the other} all night.

And the people remained standing at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

As he approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses became enraged and threw the tablets out of his hands, smashing them at the base of the mountain.

After this all the Israelites approached, and he commanded them all that the Lord had spoken to him on Mount Sinai.

They washed whenever they came to the tent of meeting and approached the altar, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
