Exegesis
The Hitpael imperfect yithallakh {יִתְהַלָּֽךְ | yit·hallāḵ} conveys ongoing or repeated walking-about, creating irony: the more he moves, the more fully he remains within the snare. The parallel terms “net” and “mesh” intensify the image by shifting from the general trap to its interlaced surface, heightening the sense of inescapable entanglement.
Root and etymology
consonantsHeh–Lamed–Kaf
“to go, walk”
In context — Job 18:8
For he is thrust into a net by his feet, and upon a mesh he walks about.
