Er-Rāghib: وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى is sometimes by the thing itself, as in the phrase in Kur 92:2, فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّى رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ [By the day when it becomes clear, etc.]; and sometimes by the case and the action, as in Kur 7:139, فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّى رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ [And when his Lord became manifested to the mountain]. Zj says the meaning here is that He appeared, and the Sunnees say the same; El-Hasan says the meaning is تجلّى بِالنُّورِ العَرْشِ [became manifested by light, the light of the empyrean].

Or جلا means that this happened in consequence of fear, and اجلى in consequence of drought.
Or أَجْلَوْا مَنْزِلَهُمْ means they left their place of abode in consequence of fear, the verb in this case being transitive by itself; but if they have left for some other reason than fear, you say عَنْ مَنْزِلِهِمْ.

this means the same as جَلِىَ.

Qur’ān 7:187 approximate — somewhere between 7:185 and 7:195 Lane cites “Kur vii. 186”
Qur’ān 7:187 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَـٰتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِىٓ أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَىٰنِى وَلَـٰكِنِ ٱنظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُۥ فَسَوْفَ تَرَىٰنِى ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُۥ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمَّآ أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَWhen Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee."

And Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe."
