Strong's Lexicon tribos: Path, way, road Original Word: τρίβος Word Origin: Derived from the verb τρίβω (tribo), meaning "to rub" or "to wear down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is דֶּרֶךְ (derek), Strong's Hebrew 1870, meaning "way" or "path." Usage: In the New Testament, "tribos" refers to a path or road, often used metaphorically to describe a way of life or a course of action. It implies a well-trodden path, suggesting familiarity and established direction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, roads and paths were essential for travel and communication. They were often simple dirt tracks worn down by frequent use. The concept of a "path" was also significant in philosophical and religious contexts, symbolizing a way of life or a journey toward a particular goal. In Jewish thought, the "path" often represented the way of righteousness or the law of God. HELPS Word-studies 5147 tríbos (from tribō, "to rub") – properly, a rut (path) formed by rubbing (constant use); (figuratively) the "route" established by the Lord, where people can best know Him. This is also a regular path that all saints must travel in their spiritual journey (romance) of knowing God. It is the "road of faith," which God equally extends to all people, so all can know Him for who He really is (personally grasping His attributes, cf. Mal 3:6; Heb 13:8).
