Genesis 42:27

וַ יִּפְתַּח הָ אֶחָד אֶת שַׂקֹּו לָ תֵת מִסְפֹּוא לַ חֲמֹרֹו בַּ מָּלֹון וַ יַּרְא אֶת כַּסְפֹּו וְ הִנֵּה הוּא בְּ פִי אַמְתַּחְתֹּו
And the One is opening אֶת-his sack to give a fodder to his fermenting-one in a lodging-place, and he is seeing אֶת-his silver-one, and behold, himself is in the mouth of his stretched-out-one.1251

Strong’s #572, amtachat, something spread out. From #4969, mathach. To spread out. Interpreted as “sack” but this different from the sack, saq (#8242), mentioned already in this verse.

The One-who-sits upon the circle [of] the Earth and her sitting-ones are as the Plucked-off [locusts], the One-who-stretches-out is as the Crushed-one of a dual-heavens, and he is spreading out [mathach] them [the heaven pair] like the Tent to sit.” Isa. 40:22 literal
