in his ways
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + plural construct noun דְּרָכֵי + 3rd masculine singular suffix; common noun, plural, construct with 3ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root meaning "to tread, walk," and in the plural construct with a 3ms suffix denotes multiple paths or courses belonging to him. The prefixed בְּ adds the sense "in," preserving both the root image of trodden paths and the possessive morphology. |
