Strong's Lexicon
halikah: Walk, journey, way, conduct

Original Word: הֲלִיכָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: halikah
Pronunciation: hah-lee-KAH
Phonetic Spelling: (hal-ee-kaw')
Definition: Walk, journey, way, conduct
Meaning: a walking, a procession, march, a caravan

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb הָלַךְ (halak), meaning "to walk" or "to go."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4043 (peripateo): To walk, to conduct one's life

- G3598 (hodos): Way, road, journey, conduct

Usage: The term "halikah" primarily refers to the act of walking or a journey. It can also denote one's conduct or manner of life. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often used metaphorically to describe the path or way of life that one chooses, reflecting one's moral and spiritual journey.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, walking was a common mode of transportation and a metaphor for living one's life. The concept of a "walk" or "way" was deeply embedded in the Hebrew mindset, symbolizing the journey of life and one's relationship with God. The Israelites were often described as walking in the ways of the Lord or, conversely, in the ways of idolatry and sin. This reflects the importance of one's conduct and choices in the covenant relationship with God.
