SIBI-P1 H1870-32
your trodden paths
| Root | דרך (d-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | to tread, to march, to walk, to bend (a bow), pathway, course of life |
| Semantic Range | Literal roads or routes; journeys; directions; habitual conduct; moral behavior; manner of action; divine dealings or purposes. |
| Conceptual Significance | "Way" is a central biblical metaphor for one’s manner of life before יהוה. It can describe human moral conduct or the righteous and purposeful "ways" of God, highlighting covenant faithfulness, guidance, and judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, masculine plural construct (דְּרָכֵי) with 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ), from דֶּרֶךְ. Functions as a possessed plural noun: "paths of you" → "your paths." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root דרך (d-r-k), "to tread" or "to march," so "trodden paths" preserves the imagery of a road formed by walking. The form is masculine plural construct with a 2nd person masculine singular suffix, accurately rendered as "your" (addressing one male) and "paths" in the plural. |
