Strong's Lexicon rahit: Runner, course, or path Original Word: רְחִיט Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to run Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent might be found in terms like "δρόμος" (dromos, Strong's Greek 1408), which also means a course or race, used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the Christian life as a race to be run with perseverance (e.g., 2 Timothy 4:7). Usage: The term "rahit" is used to describe a runner or a course, often in the context of a path or track that is followed. It can imply swiftness or a designated route, reflecting the idea of movement or progression. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of a "runner" or "course" was significant in both literal and metaphorical senses. Runners were often used as messengers, conveying important news across distances. The imagery of a course or path is also prevalent in Hebrew literature, symbolizing life's journey or the pursuit of righteousness.
