Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

[חָגַג] verb make pilgrimage, keep a pilgrim-feast (Arabic

betake oneself to or towards an object of reverence; make a pilgrimage to Mecaa; Sabean חגג make pilgrimage SabDenkm^{86. compare 85}; Syriac

celebrate a feast. In Palmyrene חגגו is proper name Vog^{No. 61}; compare also Phoenician proper name חגי, חגת); —

1 keep a pilgrim-feast, absolute Exodus 5:1 (JE) of one proposed by Moses; שׁלשׁרגלים תחג לי three times shalt thou make pilgrimage unto me (in the year) Exodus 23:14 (covt. code); of pilgrim-feasts in General Nahum 2:1, the Passover Exodus 12:14 (P); elsewhere feast of Booths; all celebrated in part by sacred processions and dances; המון חוגג Psalm 42:5 multitude keeping festival (led by the Psalmist in procession); חגגחג Leviticus 23:39 (H), Numbers 29:12 (P), Nahum 2:1; Zechariah 14:16,18,19; חגג אתו חג Exodus 12:14 (P), Leviticus 23:41 (H); אתוֺ Leviticus 23:41 (H); suffix Exodus 12:14 (P).

2 behave as at aחָג 1 Samuel 30:16 (of the Amalekites when surprised by David i.e. enjoying themselves merrily, Dr; others, circling in the sacred dance).

3 reel, in giddiness on the sea Psalm 107:27 (compare חָגָּא Isaiah 19:17); this either points to an earlier meaning of v; or better, the Psalm being late, means reel as from festival excesses ("" וְיָנוּעוּ כַשִּׁכּוֺר).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

חָגַג (kindred to the root חוּג) to go round in a circle, hence

(1) to dance, 1 Samuel 30:16.

(2) to keep a festival, from the idea of leaping, and dancing in sacred dances, Exodus 5:1; Leviticus 23:41 especially of a public assembly, Psal. 42:5. (Syriac ܚܰܓܐܳ, ܚܰܓܝܺ id. Arabic حَجَّ to go to Mecca, as a Hadj or pilgrim, to keep the public festival.)

(3) to reel, to be giddy, used of drunkards, Psalms 107:27 applied to a Person terrified, whence חָגָּא fear. Hence are derived חָג, חָגָּא and the proper names חַגַּי, חַגִּי, חַגִּיָה, חַגִּית.
