SIBI-P1 `H1869-14`

I caused you to tread

Root	דרך (d-r-k)
Core Meanings	treading, stepping, walking, trampling, bending (a bow), guiding along a path
Semantic Range	to cause to tread, to lead, to guide, to direct along a path, to make walk, to train or set on a course; in other stems can mean to tread, trample, march, or bend a bow.
Conceptual Significance	The root imagery of treading a path conveys guidance and directed movement, often used of divine instruction or leadership. It evokes the covenantal theme of YHWH guiding His people in the way they should walk, emphasizing intentional direction rather than mere movement.
Morphological Notes	Hiphil perfect 1cs of דרך with 2ms pronominal suffix; causative stem indicating "I caused to tread/led you." Occurs once in this specific form.
Rendering Rationale	The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root דרך ("to tread, walk"), so the rendering preserves the concrete imagery of causing someone to step or tread. The perfect 1st person common singular with 2nd person masculine singular suffix is reflected in "I" as the subject and "you" as the direct object.
