Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

[מָּלַס] verb Pi`el denominative weigh, make level (Phoenician פלס Pi`el make level (?) in proper names); — Imperfect 3 masculine singular יְפַלֵּס Psalm 78:20; 2 masculine plural תְּפַלֵּס֑וּן Psalm 58:3 (see below), etc.; Imperative masculine singular מַּלֵּס Proverbs 4:26; Participle מְפַלֵּס Proverbs 5:11; —

1 weign out חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם תּפי Psalm 58:3 (figurative; but read perhaps תָמָס יְדֵיכֶם תְּפַלֵּסְנָה violence do your hands weigh out, so ᵐ5ᵑ6 ᵑ7 Bae Kau We).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

פָּלַס not used in Kal.

Piel

(1) to make level, even, i.e. to prepare away, Isaiah 26:7; Proverbs 4:26, 5:6. Psalms 78:50, “he prepared a way for his anger,” i.e. he let his anger loose. (The primary power appears to be that of rolling, a sense which lies in the syllable פל, compare פּוֹל, פֶּלֶג, פָּלַךְ; hence to level by rolling a cylinder up and down, gerade walzen. It is kindred to the root פָּלַל, as the Germ. walzen comes from wallen, wellen.)

(2) to weigh (which is done by holding the balance level), to weigh out, metaph. Psalms 58:3 also, to weigh, to consider accurately, Proverbs 5:21.
