and a well-trodden path
| Root | ארח (ʾ-r-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to travel, journey, wayfare, tread a path |
| Semantic Range | road, path, caravan route, journey, traveler band, manner of life, course of action |
| Conceptual Significance | אֹרַח often functions metaphorically for one’s course of life or moral conduct, portraying life as a journey along a trodden way. It evokes both literal travel routes of the ancient Near East and the figurative paths of righteousness or wickedness. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + noun common singular (absolute or construct). The noun is grammatically singular and of common gender; no article or pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֹרַח derives from the root ארח, conveying the idea of traveling or treading a way. "Well-trodden path" preserves the sense of a traveled route formed by repeated journeying. The prefixed וְ is reflected in "and," and the singular common noun form (absolute/construct) is represented by the singular "path." |
