DefinitionShort: to leap or jump, as a possible expression of joy and happiness
Glosses: ['to jump for joy', 'to leap for joy']
Comments: For a difference of semantic focus see {D:25.134}).|In {S:04200104100022} σκιρτάω may be regarded as an instance of figurative usage: ἐσκίρτησεν τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς ‘the baby leaped for joy in her womb.’|Though it may seem quite natural to speak of ‘leaping for joy,’ in some cultures this would not be a meaningful combination of words, for leaping might suggest anger, ritual exorcism (driving out demons), or preparation for war. It may, therefore, be necessary in some languages to translate ‘jump for joy’ merely as ‘be exceedingly glad.’ It may be particularly awkward to speak of a fetus jumping in the womb, for obviously it would simply be a rapid movement of the limbs and not actual change of location. Therefore, it may be better to translate in some instances ‘moved quickly to show joy’ or ‘… as a sign of happiness.’

DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:σκιρτάω
Glosses: ['to be extremely joyful', 'to dance for joy']
Comments: χάρητε ἐν ἐκείνω τῇ ἡμέρᾳ καὶ σκιρτήσατε ‘be glad when that happens and dance for joy’ {S:04200602300014}, but see also {D:15.243} for a different semantic focus. The phrase ‘for joy’ clearly expresses ‘reason,’ and therefore it may be useful to translate ‘dance for joy’ as ‘dance because I am so joyful’ or ‘… so happy.’
