Strong's Lexicon path: Morsel, piece, fragment Original Word: פַת Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּתָה (pathah), which means "to open" or "to be simple." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "path," the concept of a small portion or morsel can be related to Greek words like ψωμίον (psomion), meaning "a small piece of bread" or "morsel," as seen in John 13:26. Usage: The Hebrew word "path" refers to a small piece or fragment, often used in the context of food, such as a morsel of bread. It conveys the idea of a portion that is broken off from a larger whole. In the Biblical context, it often signifies a humble or modest portion, reflecting simplicity or the basic necessities of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, bread was a staple food and a symbol of sustenance and hospitality. Sharing a morsel of bread was a common practice, often signifying fellowship and community. The act of breaking bread together was a gesture of peace and friendship. In the Biblical narrative, the sharing of a "path" can symbolize humility, provision, and the importance of community.
