Strong's Lexicon alach: To go, to walk, to proceed Original Word: אָלַח Part of Speech: verb Transliteration: alach Pronunciation: ah-lakh Phonetic Spelling: (aw-lakh') Definition: To go, to walk, to proceed Meaning: to muddle, to turn, corrupt Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "alach" is "περιπατέω" (peripateo - Strong's Greek 4043), which also means "to walk" or "to conduct one's life." Usage: The Hebrew verb "alach" primarily means "to go" or "to walk." It is used to describe physical movement from one place to another, as well as metaphorical or spiritual journeys. The term can imply a purposeful or deliberate action, often associated with following a path or a way of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, walking was the primary mode of transportation and a common metaphor for living one's life. The concept of "walking" in the Hebrew Bible often extends beyond mere physical movement to encompass one's conduct, behavior, and spiritual journey. The Israelites, for example, were often described as "walking" in the ways of the Lord, which implied living according to His commandments and statutes.
