Show agility, leap nimbly (in dance or physical strength; Genesis 49:24; 2 Samuel 6:16)
This verb describes nimble, agile movement—leaping or dancing with quick energy. Genesis 49:24 uses it of Joseph's arms remaining 'agile' or 'nimble' despite attacks—showing resilience and strength. In 2 Samuel 6:16, David is seen leaping and dancing before the ark, an exuberant display of worship that scandalized Michal. The Piel stem suggests intensive, repeated movement.
Senses
1. sense 1 — To leap energetically, show agility, or dance with nimble movements. The Spanish 'saltando' (leaping) and 'se fortalecieron' (became strong) reflect the two contextual nuances—worship dance in Samuel, and resilient strength in Genesis. Both share the idea of supple, energetic, unrestrained movement that displays vitality. 2×
