Strong's Lexicon orach: Path, way, course Original Word: אֹרַח Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: orach Pronunciation: o'-rakh Phonetic Spelling: (o'-rakh) Definition: Path, way, course Meaning: a well-trodden road, a caravan Word Origin: Derived from the root אָרַח (arakh), meaning "to travel" or "to journey." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3598 (hodos): Often translated as "way" or "path," used in the New Testament to describe both physical roads and metaphorical paths of life or conduct. Usage: The Hebrew word "orach" primarily denotes a path or way, often used metaphorically to describe the course of one's life or conduct. It can refer to a literal path or road, but more frequently, it is used to describe the moral or ethical direction one takes. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "orach" often implies a journey or a way of living that aligns with divine instruction or wisdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a "path" or "way" was deeply embedded in the cultural and religious consciousness. Roads and paths were vital for travel, trade, and communication. Metaphorically, the "way" one chooses was seen as indicative of one's character and relationship with God. The Israelites were often reminded to follow the "way" of the Lord, which was synonymous with living according to His commandments and statutes.
