THE term halak is likewise one of the words which denote movements performed by living beings, as in “And Jacob went (halak) on his way” (Gen. xxxii. I), and in many other instances. The verb “to go” was next employed in describing movements of objects less solid than the bodies of living beings, comp. “And the waters were going on (halok) decreasing” (Gen. 8:5); “And the fire went along (va-tihalak) upon the ground” (Exod. 9:23). Then it was employed to express the spreading and manifestation of something incorporeal, comp. “The voice thereof shall go like a serpent” (Jer. 46:22); again, “The voice of the Lord God walking in the garden” (Gen. 3:8). It is “the voice” that is qualified by “walking.”
