'Direct' in the Bible

except for his direct relative closest to him: his mother and his father, and his son and his daughter, and his brother,

Of these, [David said,] "Twenty-four thousand [are] to direct the work of the house of Yahweh, along with six thousand judges and officials

In the second year after their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jehozadak began [their work], and the remainder of their brothers the priests and the Levites and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem. They appointed the Levites {from twenty years and older} to direct the work of the house of Yahweh.

"If you yourself direct your heart and stretch out your hands to him--

But he did not direct [his] words to me, and I will not answer him with your words.

Direct my steps in your word, and do not let any iniquity gain power over me.

The {mind} of a person will plan his ways, and Yahweh will direct his steps.

You, my child, hear and be wise, and direct your heart on the road

And I will direct my zeal against you, and they will deal with you in anger; your nose and your ears they will remove, and {those who are left}, they will fall by the sword, and they will take your sons and your daughters, and {your remnant} will be consumed by fire.

and the thrust of his battering ram he will direct against your walls, and your towers he will break down with his weapons.
