The most vivid use of push appears in Malachi 4:2 — "you shall go out leaping like calves from the stall" — a beautiful image of joy-filled freedom for those who fear God's name when the Sun of Righteousness rises. This contrasts with pride that "spreads" or "leaps" arrogantly. The word captures unbounded movement, whether joyful or excessive.
Push means to leap, spread out freely, or scatter. It conveys the image of an animal leaping with exuberant energy, or of something spreading beyond its bounds. Used of skipping calves (Malachi 4:2) and of the spreading of wickedness.
