da.lag describes leaping movement, including leaping over, upon, or across a stated place.

The attested uses describe leaping as physical movement: over a wall, like a deer, upon mountains and hills, or upon a threshold. The supplied rendering for Psalm 18:30 does not make this verb's particular contribution identifiable.

Senses in use

  1. Leaping movement across or upon a place · dominant

    In 2 Samuel 22:30 the first-person imperfect occurs in the clause the APB renders "I can leap over a wall." In Isaiah 35:6, Song of Songs 2:8, and Zephaniah 1:9, the forms occur respectively with a lame person leaping like a deer, a beloved coming upon mountains and hills, and people upon a threshold. Psalm 18:30 has the same first-person imperfect form as 2 Samuel 22:30, though its supplied APB rendering does not show the corresponding clause.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with "leap" or "leaping" in 2 Samuel 22:30, Isaiah 35:6, Song of Songs 2:8, and Zephaniah 1:9. Its rendering of Psalm 18:30 does not visibly reflect the verb.
