to mock, scoff; onomatopoetic verb suggesting stammering or derisive speech
An evocative verb rooted in sound mimicry—like stammering or mocking babble. In Genesis 27:12, Jacob fears his father will perceive him as 'a mocker' if the disguise fails. In 2 Chronicles 36:16, the people are described as 'mocking' God's prophets, part of a threefold indictment alongside despising and scorning. The multilingual glosses—Spanish 'engañador' (deceiver), 'escarnecedores' (mockers); German 'Betrüger' (deceiver)—reveal how mockery often blurs into deception and contempt.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The Hithpael participle suggests reflexive or intensive mocking behavior. In Genesis 27:12, Jacob imagines himself appearing as a mocker or deceiver to his blind father. In 2 Chronicles 36:16, the participial form describes sustained, habitual scoffing at the prophets—behavior that accumulates until divine patience is exhausted. The Arabic cognate meaning 'stammer' hints at the onomatopoetic origin: derisive, inarticulate sounds made to belittle speech. 2×
