SIBI-P1 H1870-65
from his trodden path
| Root | דרך (d-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | to tread, march, walk, journey, pathway, course of life |
| Semantic Range | road, path, journey, direction, manner, custom, conduct, course of action |
| Conceptual Significance | דֶּרֶךְ commonly symbolizes a person’s moral or spiritual course in life. To depart "from his path" can imply repentance, deviation, or divine redirection, highlighting the biblical theme that life is a journey walked before YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to noun דֶּרֶךְ in singular construct form with 3ms pronominal suffix וֹ ("his"); the nun of מִן assimilates with dagesh in דּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root דרך, "to tread," denoting a road as something walked or trodden, and figuratively one’s course of life. The prefixed preposition מִן ("from") with a 3rd masculine singular suffix yields "from his trodden path," preserving both the root imagery of treading and the masculine singular possessive form. |
