Since we don't all have access to that text, it would help if you'd
cite the relevant portions of the text (we really expect those who ask
a question about any Biblical text to cite the relevant portions of
it). Is your form BADIZWN or BADIZONTES? Those would be present active
participles of BADIZW that could be either "moving" or "walking."
BADIZW is a frequentative of BAINW, which means, originally, to
"stride" -- to begin the process of forward movement.
