Semantic Rangeliteral road or track, caravan route, customary course of life, habitual conduct, manner or way of acting
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, אֹרַח often symbolizes one’s manner of life or moral direction. The imagery of well-trodden paths underscores patterns of conduct—whether righteous or wicked—formed by repeated choices and communal movement.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + noun common feminine plural construct (אָרְחוֹת). The construct state indicates a genitival relationship with a following noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אֹרַח denotes a well-worn path formed by repeated travel. Rendering it as "well-trodden paths" preserves the root sense of journeying and habitual passage. The conjunction וְ is reflected in "and," and the feminine plural construct form is conveyed by the plural "paths" and the construct linkage "of."
