Strong's Lexicon dera: Path, way, journey Original Word: דְּרַע Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to tread or to walk Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament is "ὁδός" (hodos), Strong's Greek 3598, which also means way, road, or journey. Usage: The Hebrew word "dera" is used to denote a path or way, often in a metaphorical sense to describe the course of life or moral conduct. It can refer to a physical path or journey, but more frequently, it is used to illustrate the direction or manner of one's life, choices, or behavior. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of a "path" or "way" was deeply significant. It symbolized the journey of life and the choices one makes. The Israelites, being a nomadic and later agrarian society, understood the importance of paths for travel, trade, and communication. Spiritually, the "way" was often associated with following God's commandments and living a righteous life, as seen in the wisdom literature and prophetic writings.
