**The whole BDB entry:** vb. be precipitate, precipitate (trans.) (cf. Arabic وَرَّطَ conjecit, praecipitem dedit in puteum, exitium, Frey.)— Pf. יָרַט Nu 22:32, app. c. subj. הַדֶּרֶךְ; the way is precipitate, (RVm headlong) before me, but transit. על־ידי רשׁעים ירטני Jb 16:11 into the hands of wicked men he precipitates me (v. Di; יִרְטֵנִי = יִֽרְטֵנִי; Baer’s text יִרְטֵנִי points to √ רטה q.v.); hence perhaps read יָרַטְתָּ Nu 22:32; thou hast precipitated the journey in front of me, i.e. rushed recklessly in front of me; v. Di; KauAT leaves untransl.
