Hithpa`elוַיִּתְאַבְכוּ Isaiah 9:17; roll, roll up, as volume of smoke (of Israel under figure of thickets of forest) see De & compare הִתִהַמֵּךְ Judges 7:3.
אָבַךְ a root ἅπαξ λεγόμ. prob. to roll, to roll up, also to intertwine, wälzen, wickeln, ver=wickeln. Kindred roots are בּוּךְ بَاكَ to intertwine, to be entangled; נָבַךְ to boil up, aufwallen, aufquellen, [“סָבַךְ to interweave, to braid.”-Ges. add.]; also the more harsh הָפַךְ افك to turn.
Hithpael, to be rolled together, used of smoke, which lifts itself up in the air in a dense volume, not unlike water bubbling forth from the fountain; Isaiah 9:17, וַיִּתְאַבְּכוּ גֵּאוּת עָשָׁן “and they shall be rolled together with the lifting up of smoke,” daß es in Rauch aufwalle (das Dickicht), comp. Vulg., Syr. Syr. ܙܬܙܒܟ is explained by grammarians, to be proud, to walk proudly, perhaps, prop. to roll one-self forward, used of the walk of a corpulent man, fich fortwälzen.
