Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

צָפַף only in Pilpel צִפְצַף an onomatop. word, to twitter, pip, or chirp, as a bird, Isaiah 10:14, 38:14, Gr. πιπίζω, τιτίζω, Germ. zirpen. Like the Greek τρίζω, στρουθίζω, it is applied to the slender voice of the manes, “vocem exiguam” (Virg. Æn. vi. 492), which the ancients sometimes compared to a whisper, sometimes to a sigh, Isaiah 8:19. [But why should we look in the word of God for such heathen ideas as Manes?]
