SIBI-P1 H1870-29
his trodden paths
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, plural construct form (דְּרָכֵי) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־ו); from the feminine noun דֶּרֶךְ. Though singular in form דֶּרֶךְ can be masculine or feminine, here it appears in the plural construct + suffix form meaning "his ways/paths." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root דרך, "to tread" or "to march," and fundamentally denotes a path formed by walking. Rendering it as "trodden paths" preserves this concrete, root-based imagery. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("his"), hence "his trodden paths." |
