4 The Infinitive absolute is often used

a. as in other verbs, quite independently (Ges^{§ 113}, 1): אֲחֵרִים אֱלֹהִים אַחֲרִי וְהָלֹךְ ֗֗֗ הֲגָנֹב‎ ... Jeremiah 7:9 (series of 6 Infinitive absolute) (are there) stealing, murdering, and adultery and false swearing and incense-burning to the Baal, and going after other gods...? as object, הָלוֺךְ בִדְרָכָיו וְלֹאאָֿבוּ‎ Isaiah 42:24 and they desired not walking in his ways; as apposition of object, Jeremiah 23:14 I have seen ... an abominable thing, committing adultery and walking in lies (בַּשֶּׁקֶר וְהָלוֺךְ נָאוֺף‎); compare וְיָחֵף עָרוֺם הָלוֺךְ כֵּן וַיַּעַשׂ‎ Isaiah 20:2 and he did so, a walking naked and barefoot, where also two adverb. accusative modifying the Infinitive absolute (Ges^{§ 113}, 2).

b. to intensify meaning of finite form of הָלַךְ‎ (Ges^{§ 118}, 3): (1) before finite verb עִמָּךְ אֵלֵךְ הָלוֺךְ‎ Judges 4:9 I will surely go with thee, compare Jeremiah 37:9; הָלַכְתָּ הָלֹךְ‎ Genesis 31:30 concessive, thou art indeed gone, חָֽלְכוּ הָּלוֺךְ הָעֵצִים‎ Judges 9:8 introductory, the trees went forth on a time to anoint them a king. (2) after finite verb הָלוֺךְ וַיֵּלֶךְ‎ 2 Samuel 3:24 and he is actually gone! (a grave impurdence to permit it!), י אֶתמְּֿנֵי לְחַלּוֺת הָלוֺךְ ׳נֵלְכָה‎ Zechariah 8:21 let us by all means go to seek the favour of ׳י‎

c. most noteworthy is the joining of the Infinitive absolute (I) with a following Infinitive absolute denoting a simulaneous action or process, and so emphasizing duration or continuance: a. both Infinitives preceding the finite verb, תֵּלַכְנָה וְטָפֹף הָלוֺךְ‎Isaiah 3:16 a going and atripping they go, i.e. they keep tripping as they go; so יֵלֵ֑כוּ וּבָכוֺ הָלוֺךְ‎ Jeremiah 50:4 continually weeping they shall go; β. one Infinitive before, & one after the finite verb וּבָבֹה יֵלֵךְ הָלוֺךְ‎ Psalm 126:6 continually may one go weeping γ. elsewhere both after finite verb Joshua 6:9 the rearguard was going (הֹלֵךְ‎) after the ark, continually blowing on the trumpets (בַּשּׁוֺפָרוֺת וְתָקוֺעַ הָלוֺךְ‎), compare 6:13 (where הָו֯לֹךְ‎ cf, below; both J E), וּבָכוֺ הָלוֺךְ ֗֗֗ וַיֵּלֶךְ‎ 2 Samuel 3:16, of cows וְגָעוֺ הָלוֺךְ ץָהלְכוּ‎ 1 Samuel 6:12 they went continually lowing, וְאָבֹל הָלוֺךְ וַיֵּלֶךְ‎ Judges 14:9 and he went on, eating as he went; וְדַבֵּר הָלוֺךְ הֹלְכִים‎ 2 Kings 2:11 they were going on, talking as they went; in וּבֹכֶה הָלךְ הֹלֵךְ‎ Jeremiah 41:6, the participle בֹּכֶה‎ is peculiar, read perhaps בָּכֹה‎, and for הֹלֵךְ‎ read ᵐ5 הֹלְכִים‎ Hi compare Gf. (2) with a following finite verb with ו‎ consecutive (rare): וְתקְעוּ הָלוֺךְ הֹלְכִים‎ Joshua 6:13 (JE) they were going along continually blowing on the trumpets; וְזָעָ֑קָה הָלוֺךְ וַתַּלֶךְ‎ 2 Samuel 13:19 and she went, crying out as she went; וִיְקַלֵּל הָ֗֗֗לוֺךְ הֹלֵךְ‎ 16:13 he went along . . . cursing as he went; so 1 Samuel 19:23 and he went on, prophesying as he went, until he came, etc. (3) in cases where finite verb is followed by Infinitive absolute + adjective denoting progress, advance: וְקָרֵב חָלוֺךְ וַיֵּלֶךְ‎ 2 Samuel 18:25 and he came continually nearer (nearer & nearer); elsewhere with idea of actual motion lost from finite verb: וָרָ֑ב הָלוֺךְ וַיֵּלֶךְ‎ 1 Samuel 14:19 and he tumult kept growing greater and greater; so הָלוֺךְ דָּוִד וַיֵּלֶךְ וְגָדוֺל‎ 2 Samuel 5:10 = 1 Chronicles 11:9; compare Judges 4:24 and the hand of the sons of Israel kept growing more and more severe (וְקָשָׁה הָלוֺךְ ֗֗֗ וַתֵּלָךְ‎) upon Jabin; note especially מְאֹד גָדַל עַדבִּֿיֿ וְגָדֵל הָלוֺךְ וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ וַיִּגְּדּל‎ Genesis 26:13 (J) and the man grew great and kept on growing greater and greater until etc. (גָּדֵל‎ particular adjective ). (4) twice, where finite verb is not הלך‎, but another verb denoting motion: וָשׁוֺב הָלוֺךְ ֗֗֗ הַמַּיִם וַיָּשֻׁבוּ‎ 8:3 (J) and he waters retired continually more and more; הַנֶּ֫גְבָּה וְנָסוֺעַ הָלוֺךְ אַבְּרָם וַיִסַּע‎ 12:9 (J) and Abram journeyed on continually further toward the south country. (5) quite by itself is 8:5 (P) וְחָסוֺר הָלוֺךְ הָיוּ וְהַמַּיִם‎ and he waters, they continually diminished (were a going and a diminishin; the Infinitive absolute being predicate). (6) 13 t. the Infinitive absolute = Imperative & is followed by Perfect consecutive (chiefly in Jeremiah): וְדִבַּרְתָּ֫ הָלוֺךְ‎ 2 Samuel 24:12 go and speak, so Jeremiah 35:2; ׳ה וְאָמַרְתָּ֫‎ go and say, Isaiah 38:5; Jeremiah 28:13; 34:2; 35:13; 39:16; ׳ה וְקָרָאתָ‎ 2:2; 3:12; also ׳ה וְרָחַצְתָּ֫‎ 2 Kings 5:10 go and wash, וְקָנִיתָ׳ה‎ Jeremiah 13:1; 19:1 go and buy, ׳ה וְעָמַדְתָּ֫‎ 17:19 go and stand.

d. akin to the use of Infinitive absolute are some instances of Participle הֹלֵךְ‎ + adjective (or participle): וְקָרֵב הֹלֵךְ הַמְּלִשְׁתִּי וַיֵּלֶךְ‎ 1 Samuel 17:41 and the Philistine came continually nearer (compare 2 Samuel 18:25 above); in other cases as predicate, with same idea of growing, increasing: וְדַלִּים הֹלְכִים שָׁאוּל וּבֵית וְחָזֵק הֹלֵךְ וְדָוִד‎ 3:1 and David was growing stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul were growing weaker and weaker, compare 2 Chronicles 17:12; Esther 9:4 (of individuals), 2 Samuel 15:12 (of people); + 2 adjective וָטוֺב וְגָדֵל הֹלֵךְ שְׁמוּאֵל וְהַנַּעַד‎ 1 Samuel 2:26; compare (with different order) of wind, Ecclesiastes 1:6 goeth (הוֺלֵךְ‎)toward the south, and turneth about (סוֺבֵב‎) unto the north, the wind turneth about and about continually (הָרוּחַ הוֺלֵךְ סֹבֵב סוֺבֵב‎); of sea וְסֹעֵר הוֺלֵךְ הַיָּם‎Jonah 1:11, 13 the sea was growing more and more stormy; also מְאֹד וְחָזֵק חוֺלֵךְ שֹּׁפָר הַ קוֺל וַיְהִי‎ Exodus 19:19 and the sound of the trumpet kept growing louder and louder; & in metaphor הַיּוֺם עַדנְֿכוֺן וָאוֺר הוֺלֵךְ נֹ֑גַהּ כְּאוֺר צַדִּיקִים אֹרַח‎ Proverbs 4:18 the path of just men is like a shining light, growing lighter and lighter until the full day.

5 In combination with other verbal forms:
