the paths

Morphological NotesNoun, common; plural absolute; definite with prefixed הַ; gender both (typically masculine in plural form).
Rendering RationaleThe plural noun from דרך retains the concrete sense of trodden paths or roads, extended metaphorically to courses of conduct. The definite article הַ marks it as specific, hence "the paths," preserving both plurality and definiteness.
