and rolling

Rootגלל (g-l-l)
Core Meaningsrolling, turning, revolving, removing by rolling, entrusting (figurative rolling)
Semantic Rangeto roll (stones or objects), roll away, roll down, turn over, wallow; figuratively to commit or entrust (as rolling a burden onto another), to remove reproach.
Conceptual SignificanceThe root often conveys physical movement—such as rolling a stone from a well or tomb—but also metaphorically expresses transferring a burden or reproach. This dual imagery of physical rolling and figurative entrusting enriches biblical themes of removal, transition, and reliance upon YHWH.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + Qal active participle masculine singular absolute from גָּלַל (gālal). The participle expresses continuous or characteristic action: "rolling."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine singular with a prefixed conjunction ("and"). "Rolling" preserves the concrete root sense of ג־ל־ל (to roll or turn) while reflecting the participial, ongoing action of a single masculine subject.
