Strong’s #2509, chalaq. Smooth. Compare with these: “smoother [chalaq] than oil” Prov. 5:3. “smooth [stones] of the valley” Isaiah 57:6 YLT. “And he taketh his staff in his hand, and chooseth for him five smooth stones from the brook” 1 Sam. 17:40 YLT. Smooth stones are such on account of one reason only: they live in a River bed. Smooth river stones are also clean stones, because they are “peeled”.

In the time a present is brought to Yahweh of Armies, A nation drawn out and peeled [smooth].” Isaiah 18:7 literal.
