Core sense — he determined, or decided, upon an affair; they agreed in opinion; he prepared itgenerated
4.1I put the thing together—أَجْمَعْتُ الشَّىْءَ
I collected the camels taken as spoil from every quarter and drove them away—أَجْمَعْتُ النَّهْبِ
See Form 1.
For instance, spoil, or plunder.
Or إِجْمَاعٌ simply means the driving of camels together, or collectively.
4.1.1I determined, or decided, upon the affair, as though I collected myself for it—أَجْمَعْتُ الأَمْرَ
الإِجْمَاعُ also means the composing and settling of a thing that has been unsettled, such as an opinion one decides upon: or جَعْلُ الأَمْرِ جَمِيعًا بَعْدَ تَفَرُّقِهِ, that is, deciding upon an affair so as to make it firmly settled, after considering what its results might be and saying at one time, I will do this, and at another, I will do that.
عَلَى الأَمْرِ is used in the same way; said, for instance, of a journey, a fast, a going forth, a staying or an abiding.
he determined, or decided, upon his affair—جَمَعَ أَمْرَهُ
I determined, or settled, the opinion—أَجْمَعْتُ الرَّأْىِ
determine on your affair, and do not leave it unsettled—أَجْمِعْ أَمْرَكَ وَلَا تَدَعْهُ مُنْتَشِرًا
then determine on your affair and prepare for it—فَأَجْمَعُوا أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَآءَ كُمْ
For instance, a fast.
In the Qur'ān 10:72; so Fr and Ibn-'Arafeh. Or اِجْعَلُوهُ جَمِيعًا, which has that same meaning, and call your companions — شركاءكم being in the accusative, governed by a verb understood, since the verb in the text is not used with شركاء as its object, but only the unaugmented verb.
Or the meaning is: then determine, with your companions, upon your affair; so says Aboo-Is-hák, who adds that what Fr says is wrong. Or: then determine upon your affair and the affair of your companions, for وَأَمْرَ شُرَكَائِكُمْ.
therefore determine on your artifice, or stratagem—فَأَجْمِعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ
In the Qur'ān 20:67. But some read فَٱجْمَعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ, meaning: combine all your artifice, and leave nothing of it unexerted; and this reading is favoured by the phrase فَجَمَع كَيْدَهُ in verse 62 of the same chapter.
4.1.2they agreed, or were of one opinion, upon the affair—أَجْمَعُوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ
It also means agreeing, or uniting, in opinion.
اجتمعوا عَلَيْهِ and تجمّعوا عليه are used in the same way.
4.1.3I prepared, or made ready, such a thing—أَجْمَعْتُ كَذَا
It also means preparing a thing, or making it ready; the same as الإِعْدَادُ. In the CK, wrongly, الاَعْدَادُ.
prepare for your affair—أَجْمِعُوا أَمْرَكُمْ
4.1.4he bound the teats of the she-camel all together—اجمع بِالنَّاقَةِ
It also means the binding of the teats of a she-camel all together with the صِرَار.
اجمع النَّاقَةِ and أَكْمَشَ بِهَا are used in the same sense.
4.1.5
It also means drying a thing, drying it up, or making it dry; the same as التَّجْفِيفُ وَالإِيبَاسُ. In the CK, wrongly, التَخْفُيفُ والاِيْناسُ.
Hence Aboo-Wejzeh Es-Saadee says
shāhidوَأَجْمَعَتِ الهَوَاجِرُ كُلَّ رَجْعٍمِنَ الأَجْمَادِ وَالدَّمِثِ البَثَآءِ
— [And the violent midday heats] dried up every pool left by a torrent [of the hard and elevated grounds and of the soft and even ground].
4.1.6the rain made the whole of the land flow, both its soft tracts and its hard tracts—اجمع المَطَرُ الأَرْضِ
the land flowed in its soft tracts—أَجْمَعَتِ الأَرْضُ سَائِلَةً
That is, in its hard tracts as well; in every part. See also Form 10.

10:71
وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكُم مَّقَامِى وَتَذْكِيرِى بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَأَجْمِعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةً ثُمَّ ٱقْضُوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِRelate to them the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of Allah,- yet I put my trust in Allah. Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite.
12:15
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَـٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَـٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَSo they did take him away, and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well: and We put into his heart (this Message): 'Of a surety thou shalt (one day) tell them the truth of this their affair while they know (thee) not'
12:102
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَSuch is one of the stories of what happened unseen, which We reveal by inspiration unto thee; nor wast thou (present) with them then when they concerted their plans together in the process of weaving their plots.
20:64
فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا ۚ وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ"Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand."
