How the English word “reach” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

REACH, verb transitive

Raught, the ancient preterit, is obsolete. The verb is now regular; participle passive reached. Latin rego, to rule or govern, to make right or straight, that is, to strain or stretch, the radical sense. The English sense of reach appears in Latin porrigo and porricio. Greek, to reach to stretch, the radical sense of desiring. Latin fragro. But the primary sense is the same, to reach to extend, to shoot forth, to urge.]

To extend; to stretch; in a general sense; sometimes followed by out and forth; as, to reach out the arm.
To extend to; to touch by extending either the arm alone, or with an instrument in the hand; as, to reach a book on the shelf; I cannot reach the object with my cane; the seaman reaches the bottom of the river with a pole or a line.
To strike from a distance.
