SIBI-P1 H1870-28

two trodden-paths

Rootדרך (d-r-k)
Core Meaningsto tread, march, step, travel; road, path, course
Semantic RangeLiteral road or pathway; journey; direction; manner of conduct; course of life; customary behavior; destiny or outcome.
Conceptual Significance"Way" language in Scripture frequently expresses one’s moral direction or covenantal fidelity. As a trodden path forms through repeated steps, so a person’s character and destiny are shaped by habitual conduct, making "the way" a central metaphor for righteous or wicked living.
Morphological NotesCommon noun from דֶּרֶךְ in the dual form (-ַיִם), absolute state; no pronominal suffix. The base noun is grammatically common (can function as masculine or feminine), here appearing in the dual.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root דרך (d-r-k), "to tread," so "trodden-paths" preserves the imagery of a road formed by walking. The morphology indicates a common noun in the dual absolute form, which is reflected by "two" in the rendering, maintaining the grammatical number of the Hebrew.
