grope, feel; searching by touch in darkness or blindness
This verb describes groping or feeling with the hands, typically when unable to see clearly. Isaiah uses it twice in one verse, painting a vivid picture of spiritual blindness: Israel gropes like the blind at noon, feeling along walls as in deep darkness. The repetition intensifies the image of helpless searching and disorientation.

1. sense 1 — A Piel verb meaning to grope, feel, or search by touch. Both occurrences appear in Isaiah 59:10: 'We grope like the blind along a wall; we grope like those without eyes.' The repetition emphasizes the extent of spiritual darkness and moral confusion afflicting the people. The verb suggests deliberate tactile searching when sight fails, similar to cognates in Arabic, Aramaic, and Ethiopic that mean to touch, stroke, or feel. The cohortative form ('let us grope') may express either description of current reality or ironic self-exhortation. 2×
