Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + common noun, singular, construct state; gender both; no article.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root meaning "to tread" and denotes a trodden path or course. The prefixed בְּ marks the preposition "in," and the singular construct form supports the concise rendering "in a path," preserving both root sense and morphology without adding context.
