Strong's Lexicon trochia: Path, track, course Original Word: τροχιά Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "τροχός" (trochos), meaning "wheel" or "circular track." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a path or way is דֶּרֶךְ (derek), Strong's Hebrew 1870, which similarly conveys the idea of a road, journey, or manner of life. Usage: The term "trochia" refers to a path or track, often used metaphorically to describe a course of action or way of life. In the New Testament, it is used to illustrate the concept of a spiritual or moral path that one follows. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of a "trochia" would have been familiar in the context of athletics, particularly in races where runners followed a set course. This imagery was often used metaphorically in philosophical and religious texts to describe the journey of life or the pursuit of virtue. The idea of a path or course was also significant in Jewish thought, where the "way" one followed was closely associated with adherence to God's commandments.
