Subject: [b-hebrew] HITPAEL as mutual action

Hello,
I'm relatively new to biblical Hebrew and I would like to learn more through
this list.
Recently I wondered what the significance of the verb HLK in the Hitpa(el
is. For example in Genesis 6:9. Does it mean: to make yourself go
(reflexive)?
I was thinking maybe it could also mean: Noah and God influenced each
other's ways (reciproke) or Noah imitated God's ways (imitative sense of the
Hitpa(el).
I would like your thoughts on this.
Greetings,
