Strong's Lexicon maslul: Highway, path, road Original Word: מַסְלוּל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: macluwl Pronunciation: mahs-LOOL Phonetic Spelling: (mas-lool') Definition: a thoroughfare Meaning: A thoroughfare, highway, or path that is elevated or prepared for travel. Word Origin: Derived from the root סָלַל (salal), which means "to lift up" or "to cast up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Strong's Concordance is G3598 (ὁδός, hodos), which also means "way," "road," or "path." This Greek term is frequently used in the New Testament to describe both physical roads and metaphorical paths, such as the "way" of salvation or the "way" of righteousness. For example, in John 14:6 (BSB), Jesus says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me," using the term ὁδός to convey the concept of a spiritual path or journey. Usage: The term מַסְלוּל is used in the context of a prepared or elevated road, often implying a path that has been made ready for travelers. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a way that is made smooth or accessible. Context: • The Hebrew word מַסְלוּל appears in the context of preparing a way or path, often associated with the idea of making a road ready for travel. This term is used in Isaiah 35:8, where it describes a "highway" that is set apart for the redeemed. The imagery of a highway or thoroughfare in biblical literature often symbolizes a path of righteousness or a way of holiness that is distinct from the common paths of life. In Isaiah 35:8 (BSB), it is written: "And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it, only those who walk in that Way—and fools will not stray onto it." This passage highlights the spiritual significance of the term, indicating a path that is not only physically prepared but also spiritually significant, reserved for those who are righteous and pure.
