גָּעַשׁ prop. to push, to thrust, Germ. ftoßen. (Syr. ܓܥܰܫ to push with the horn, ftoßen.) Hence in the passive conjugations, to be concussed, moved, prop. hin= und hergeftoßen werden; and once also in Kal, Psalms 18:8, וַתִּגְעַשׁ וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ “and the earth shook and trembled.” In the parallel place, 2 Samuel 22:8, it is Hithpael [כ׳ Kal], in which this signification is more frequent; the writer however appears to have used Kal intransitively, on account of the paronomasia of the verbs תִּגְעַשׁ, תִּרְעַשׁ.
Pual גֹּעַשׁ id.; Job 34:20, יְגֹעֲשׁוּ עָם וְיַעֲבֹ֑רוּ “the people shall be moved,” (i.e. shall totter) “and perish.”
Hithpael, to be moved, used of the earth, Psalms 18:8, and 2 Samuel 22:8, fin.; of the waves, Jeremiah 5:22, 46:7, Jeremiah 46:8.
Hithpoel, to stagger, to reel, as a drunken man, Jeremiah 25:16.
