Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

בָּקַק

(1) to pour out, to empty, prop. a vessel; see בַּקְבּוּק. (Arab. بَقْبَقَ onomatopoetic from the sound of a bottle when emptied, like the Pers. غلغل gulgul, Engl. to bubble. In the Maltese bakbak is, to bubble, boil up, as water, like the Arab. بعع, بغبغ, bokka, a bubble of water, bakbŷka, bekbŷka, a bottle; compare also בּוּעַ, בַּעְבַּע; בּוּק.) Figuratively

(a) to empty a land, depopulate it, Isaiah 24:1 to despoil, to pillage the inhabitants, Nahum 2:3.

(b) Jeremiah 19:7, בַּקֹּתִי אֶת־עֲצַת יְהוּדָה “I will empty, or pour out the counsel of Judah,” i.e. I will make them void of counsel. Compare Niphal, Isaiah 19:3.

(2) intrans. to be poured out, to be spread wide, used of a spreading tree; Hosea 10:1, גֶּפֶן בֹּקֵק “a wide spreading vine;” LXX. ἄμπελος εὐκληματοῦσα: Vulg. frondosa.

Niphal נָבַק; inf. הִבּוֹק; fut. יִבּוֹק.

(1) pass, of Kal No. 1, a, Isaiah 24:3.

(2) pass. of No. 1, b, Isaiah 19:3, נָֽבְקָה רוּחַ מִצְרַיִם מִקִּרְבּוֹ “the spirit of Egypt shall be poured out from her midst,” i.e. she shall be altogether bereft of understanding and prudence; נָֽבְקָה is for נָבַקָּה; Lehrg. 372.

Poel בּוֹקֵק i.q. Kal 1, a, to depopulate, Jeremiah 51:2.

Derived nouns are בַּקְבּוּק and pr.n. בַּקְבֻּקְיָה, בֻּקִּי, בֻּקִיָּהוּ, יַבֹּק.
