send forth

Dispatch into existence

Send forth means to cause to go out or be released, often with a sense of emanation or dispatch.

Light sends forth rays; a flower sends forth fragrance; a king sends forth messengers.

The phrase carries a slightly formal or literary tone: The trumpet sent forth a clear note across the valley.

It emphasizes the source rather than the destination.
