'Lay' in the Bible

If I restrain the heavens and there is no rain, and if I lay charge on the locust to consume the land, and if I send pestilence among My people --

and they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their fathers, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them, therefore He hath brought upon them all this evil.'

and they bring nigh the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the assembly, and they lay their hands upon them;

in the third month they have begun to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished.
