her pathways
| Root | דרך (d-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | to tread, to march, to walk, pathway, course of life, manner of conduct |
| Semantic Range | road, path, journey, direction, manner, habit, conduct, course of life, moral way |
| Conceptual Significance | "Pathway" in biblical thought often symbolizes one’s moral and spiritual course. To speak of "her pathways" can refer to a nation’s conduct, a personified city’s practices, or wisdom’s manner of life, highlighting the covenantal theme that one’s walked path reflects allegiance and destiny. |
| Morphological Notes | Common noun דֶּרֶךְ in the plural construct form (דְּרָכֵי) with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix (־הָ), yielding "her ways/pathways." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root דרך, "to tread," and refers literally to a trodden path and figuratively to a course of life or conduct. The form here is plural construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, accurately rendered as "her pathways," preserving both the plural sense and the feminine singular possession. |
