SIBI-P1 H1870-25
his trodden path
| Root | דרך (d-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | to tread, to step, to march, to walk a path |
| Semantic Range | road, path, journey, direction, manner of life, conduct, custom, course of action |
| Conceptual Significance | "Way" in the Hebrew Bible often symbolizes one’s moral conduct or life direction before YHWH. It expresses the lived-out course a person treads, highlighting accountability, covenant faithfulness, and the contrast between righteous and wicked paths. |
| Morphological Notes | Common singular noun in construct form (דַּרְכְּ) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his way/path." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the verb "to tread," originally denoting a path formed by walking. Rendering it as "trodden path" preserves this concrete, root-based imagery while the 3rd masculine singular suffix is reflected in "his." The singular form is maintained in "path." |
