[‎עָתֵק‎] verb move, proceed, advance (Late Hebrew Hiph`il; Assyrian etêku as H., also transitive bring, move; Arabic , precede, pass forth, become free, grow old; Aramaic , ‎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 —
l. 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 vJob 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.}).
