Roll!

Rootגלל (g-l-l)
Core Meaningsto roll, roll away, roll upon, heap up, remove by rolling
Semantic RangeLiteral rolling of stones or objects; rolling something away or off; figuratively transferring responsibility or burden; committing one’s cause to another; wallowing or heaping up.
Conceptual SignificanceThe verb often conveys the vivid image of transferring a burden by rolling it onto another, especially onto YHWH, expressing trust and reliance. This concrete metaphor reinforces the relational theology of entrusting one’s way or cares to God rather than bearing them alone.
Morphological NotesQal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqv2ms). Active simple stem; direct command addressed to one male individual.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal imperative, second masculine singular, directly commanding one male individual to perform the action of the root גלל, "to roll." The rendering "Roll!" preserves the concrete root imagery of rolling, which underlies figurative uses such as rolling one’s burden onto YHWH (i.e., committing or entrusting).
