**שׁוֹלָל.** מִשְׁתַּגֵּעַ כְּשׁוֹטֶה בְּתִמְהוֹן לֵב, כְּמוֹ ״אֶשְׁתּוֹלְלוּ אַבִּירֵי לֵב״ (תהלים עו), ״וְסָר מֵרָע מִשְׁתּוֹלֵל״ (ישעיהו נט) וְהַתָּי״ו הִיא בָּאָה לְשַׁמֵּשׁ בַּתֵּיבָה בִּלְשׁוֹן מִתְפַּעֵל וְנִתְפַּעֵל, וְכֵן הִלּוּךְ תֵּיבָה שֶׁתְּחִלַּת יְסוֹדָהּ שִׁי״ן אוֹ סָמֶ״ךְ כְּשֶׁבָּאוּ עָלָיו תָּי״ו בִּלְשׁוֹן מִתְפַּעֵל וְנִתְפַּעֵל נִכְנֶסֶת תּוֹךְ הַתֵּיבָה כְּמוֹ ׳מִשְׁתּוֹלֵל׳, אוֹמֵר אֲנִי שֶׁהוּא מִלְּשׁוֹן שׁוֹגֵג כְּמוֹ ״לֹא תַשְׁלֶה אוֹתִי״ (מלכים ב ד:כח), ״עַל הַשַּׁל״ (שמואל ב ו:ז), ״דִּי יֵאמַר שָׁלוּ״ (דניאל ג):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**I will go mad** Heb. שׁוֹלָל, becoming mad like a mentally deranged person, with bewilderment. Cf. (Ps. 76:6) “The stout-hearted have become mad (אֱשְׁתּוֹלְלוּ)”; (Isa. 59:15) “And he who turns away from evil is considered mad (מִשְׁתּוֹלֵל).” The ‘tav’ comes into the word to serve in the reflexive present and past. This is the normal pattern of a word whose first radical letter is ‘shin’ or ‘sammech’ when a ‘tav’ is added in the reflexive, either present or past, as in מִשְׁתּוֹלֵל. I say that it is an expression of error, as in (II Kings 4:28) “Do not mislead (תַשְׁלֶה) me”; (II Sam. 6:7) “For his error (הַשַּׁל) ;” (Dan. 3: 29) “who speaks anything amiss (שָׁלוּ).”
