Strong's Lexicon mahlek: Journey, course, path Original Word: מַהְלֵךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root verb הָלַךְ (halak), meaning "to walk" or "to go." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts includes πορεία (poreia - G4197), meaning "journey" or "way." Usage: The Hebrew word "mahlek" refers to the concept of a journey or the course one takes. It can denote a physical journey or path, as well as a metaphorical or spiritual journey. In the biblical context, it often implies the direction or way of life that one chooses to follow. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, journeys were significant undertakings, often involving long distances on foot or by caravan. The concept of a journey was deeply embedded in the culture, symbolizing not only physical travel but also spiritual and moral progress. The Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land is a central narrative in the Hebrew Bible, representing both a physical and spiritual journey of faith and obedience to God.
