SIBI-P1 H1870-07
in the trodden path
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in/by") prefixed to a common-gender singular noun in the construct state (Ncbsc). No pronominal suffix is present. Though morphologically construct, it often functions adverbially or in bound phrases. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root דרך, "to tread," originally denoting a path formed by repeated walking. The prefixed בְּ preposition means "in" or "by," and the noun appears as a singular construct form (common gender), so "in the trodden path" preserves both the concrete root imagery and the singular morphology. |
