treaded path-of
| Morphological Notes | Common-gender singular noun in the construct state (HNcbsc). The construct form indicates possession or close association with a following word ("way of..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root דרך, "to tread" or "to march," originally referring to a path formed by repeated walking. Rendering it as "treaded path-of" preserves the concrete imagery of a way created by footsteps while reflecting the singular construct form ("-of"), which links it grammatically to a following noun. |
