Meanings

to be made agile

Causative action by which deities cause parts of the human body to have the ability to move or act with speed despite a lack of agility, strength, training, or energy

Examples
Genesis 49:24 But his bow remained firm, And his arms were agile, From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),
to leap

Literally: to be made agile; hence: action by which humans leap into the air as an expression of joy

Examples
2 Samuel 6:16 Then it happened, as the ark of the LORD was coming into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked down through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she was contemptuous of him in her heart.
