[עָתֵק] verb move, proceed, advance (Late Hebrew Hiph`il; Assyrian etêku as H., also transitive bring, move; Arabic [untranscribed source text 4145], [untranscribed source text 4146] precede, pass forth, become free, grow old; Aramaic [untranscribed source text 4147], עֲתַק grow old, Palmyrene adjective עתק old); —

Qal Perfect 3 feminine singular עָֽתְקָה Ps 6:8, 3 plural עָֽתְקוּ Job 21:7 Imperfect 3 masculine singular יֶעְתַּק Job 14:18; Job 18:4 —

1. move מִמְּקֹמוֺ ׳ וְצוּר יֶע Job 14:18, so Job 18:4.

2. advance (in years; Aramaic sense) Job 21:7 (|| יִחְיוּ); hence = grow old and weak Ps 6:8 (of eye, || עָֽשְׁשָׁה).

Hiph`il Perfect 3 plural הֶעְתִּיקוּ Job 32:16 ( Gi; van d. H. Baer Job 32:15), Prov 25:1 Imperfect 3 masculine singular וַיַּעְתֵּק Gen 12:8; Gen 26:22 Participle מַעְתִּיק Job 9:5 —

1. move forward (that is, tent) = proceed Gen 12:8 (מִשָּׁם, ה locative), Gen 26:22 (מִשָּׁם); so figurative Job 32:16 (see above) words have moved away from them (מֵהֶם), but see probably gloss (Bu and others).

2. Job 9:5 he who removeth mountains.

3. very late Prov 25:1 transcribe (remove from one book or roll to another; ᵐ5 ἐξεγράψαντο, ᵑ9 transtulerunt; so in mediaeval Hebrew: Zunz^{ZMG xxv (1871), 447 f. = Ges. Schr.
iii.
66 f.}).
