V) slp (פלסה PLSh) - Roll: KJV (5): (vf: Hitpael) wallow, roll - Strongs: H6428 (פָּלַשׁ)

 [מָּלַשׁ] verb Hithpa`el act of mourning, possibly roll in (dust, etc.; weakened from burrow into) (Late Hebrew Pi`el break open, or through; Assyrian palâšu, dig a hole; Syriac dig or break through; but connection dubious, Vrss mostly be-sprinkle oneself, Aq roll oneself); — Perfect 1 singular עָפָרהִתְמַּלָּ֑שְׁתִּי Micah 1:10 Kt (Qr Imperative מַּלָּ֑שִׁי-), others masculine plural מַּלָּ֑שׁוּ-); Imperfect 3 masculine plural בָּאֵפֶר יִתְמַּלָּ֑שׁוּ Ezekiel 27:30, so Imperative feminine singular הִתֵמַּלֵּשִׁי בָאֵפֶר Jeremiah 6:26 (compare Micah 1:10 Qr); absolute, masculine plural הִתֵמַּלְּשׁוּ Micah 25:34.

פָּלַשׁ an unused root; pr. (as rightly given by Simonis in edit. 1-3, and Kimchi, התגלגל), to roll, to revolve (wälzen); like the kindred roots פָּלַס, פָּלַל (פּוֹל). Hence

Hithpael, to roll oneself, i.e. to wallow in ashes (בָּאֵפֶר), Jeremiah 6:26; Ezekiel 27:30 in dust (עָפָר), Micah 1:10. Absol. id. Jeremiah 25:34.-In former editions I followed the LXX. and Vulg. in giving this root the signification of sprinkling, which has been assented to by Rosenm. and Winer (in Lex. page 776); but I prefer the former, as springing from the internal nature of the root.
