Hithpa`el Imperfect 2 masculine singular עלשָֿׁרְשֵׁי רַגְלַי תִּתְחַקֶּה Job 13:27 thou gravest thee a graving (= markest a line) for (i.e. about) the soles of my feet, fixest limits for them (see Di).
חֻקָּה see below חקק. below
חָקָה unused in Kal, i.q. חָקַק pr. to cut into (hacken, hauen), to hack; hence to engrave, to carve (Pual, No. 1); to draw, to paint (Pual, No. 2; see חָקַק, No. 2 ); also, to hack up the ground (aufhacken); see Hithpael.
Pual part. מְחֻקֶּה

(2) drawn, painted, Ezekiel 8:10 comp. 23:14.
Hithpael, to dig up, to hack up the ground, aufhacken, einen Graben aufwerfen. I would thus, from the primary signification, explain Job 13:27, עַל־שָׁרְשֵׁי רַגְלַי תִּתְחַקֶּה “around the roots of my feet thou hast dug up (the ground);” or, hast made a trench, so that I cannot go on, i.e. thou hast stopped up my way, compare Job 19:8; Lamentations 3:7. It is commonly interpreted, around the roots of my feet thou hast delineated; i.e. hast marked out to my feet how far they shall go.
