    to tell s.o. to stop bothering one and go away
    X послал Y-a подальше - X told Y to go to hell (to blazes)
    X told Y where to go (to head) X told Y to get lost X sent Y on Y's way.
    "...Если мы не найдём общего языка, если вы меня пошлёте сейчас подальше, я и это пойму, поверьте...» (Аксёнов 7). "...If we, shall we say, fail to find a common language, if you tell me to go to blazes, I'll understand, believe me" (7a).
    «...Конечно, в гражданской жизни такого положения не бывает, потому что там каждый человек отработал свои восемь часов на производстве, считает себя уже свободным, и если какой инженер или мастер прикажет ему что-нибудь, так он может послать его куда подальше и правильно сделает» (Войнович 2)."...Of course in civilian life such a situation is impossible because there, after a persons put in his eight hours at the factory, he can think of himself as a free man, and if some engineer or foreman orders him to do anything, he can just tell him where to go and he'd be right to do it" (2a).
    В сопровождении работницы иностранной комиссии Союза писателей входит мистер Гопкинс... Будь это какой-нибудь болгарин или другой социалистический брат, так его можно бы послать подальше. Но за мистером Гопкинсом международная разрядка и конвертируемая валюта (Войнович 3). Accompanied by a worker from the foreign office of the Writers' Union, Mr. Hopkins enters... If he were a Bulgarian or some other brother in socialism, he (Ivanko) could send him on his way. But behind Mr. Hopkins there is international detente and convertible foreign currency (3a).

    things that happen in life are determined by God or, as some see it, fate etc and therefore are unpredictable and often impossible to understand
    mysterious are the ways of the Lord
    the ways of the Lord are inscrutable (unfathomable, unknowable) God (the Lord) moves in mysterious ways the will of heaven (God) is mysterious and not easily discovered life is mysterious (unpredictable)
    (author's usage) «Из всех неисповедимых путей Господа, наверное, самый неисповедимый привел тебя в полувымершую семью московских мастеровых из бывших крестьян, к девочке, почти подростку, с которой ты зачал родословную новой фамилии, гремучего симбиоза славянских и библейских кровей» (Максимов 2). "Of all the mysterious ways of the Lord, perhaps the most inscrutable was that which brought you into this half-extinct Moscow working-class family of erstwhile peasants, to marry a girl, still almost a child, with whom you founded a new branch of the family tree, a fierce symbiosis of Slavic and Hebraic blood.. " (2a).
    Cf. the Bible, "How unsearchable are His (God's) judgments, and His ways past finding out!" (Rom. 11.33).
