well-trodden path
| Root | ארח (ʾ-r-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to travel, to journey, to tread a path, wayfaring |
| Semantic Range | road, path, way of travel, caravan route, journey, course of life, habitual conduct |
| Conceptual Significance | אֹרַח often carries both literal and metaphorical force, describing not only physical routes but also one’s manner of life or moral course. It contributes to the biblical motif of life as a journey, where one’s chosen path reflects covenant faithfulness or rebellion. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common gender, singular (absolute and construct forms attested). No pronominal suffix in the listed forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root ארח, which conveys the act of journeying or traveling a trodden route. Rendering it as "well-trodden path" preserves the concrete sense of a traveled track while reflecting the singular, common-gender noun form (absolute and construct) found in the morphology. |
