to walk
| Root | ילך (y-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | walking, going, movement, journeying, proceeding |
| Semantic Range | to walk physically, to go or travel, to depart, to proceed, to live or conduct oneself (figuratively), to follow a path or course of action. |
| Conceptual Significance | "Walking" in the Hebrew Bible often signifies one’s manner of life or covenantal conduct. To "walk" before יהוה implies faithful obedience and relational alignment, making the term central to biblical ethics and discipleship imagery. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal (simple active) infinitive construct of יָלַךְ with prefixed ל preposition; verbal noun expressing purpose, result, or complementary action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לָלֶכֶת is a Qal infinitive construct of יָלַךְ with the prefixed preposition ל, expressing purpose or direction. "To walk" preserves the root’s core sense of movement while reflecting the infinitive construct form introduced by ל (“to”). |
