Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between מַהֲלָךְ and a specific Greek word in the Septuagint or New Testament, the concept of a journey or walk can be related to Greek terms such as πορεία (poreia, G4197), meaning "journey" or "way," and περιπατέω (peripateo, G4043), meaning "to walk" or "to conduct one's life." These Greek terms capture similar themes of movement and progress found in the Hebrew מַהֲלָךְ.

Usage: The word מַהֲלָךְ appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a journey or the distance that can be traveled. It is often used in contexts where the focus is on the physical act of moving from one place to another or the space traversed.

Context: • מַהֲלָךְ (mahalak) is a noun that appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is used to describe both literal and figurative journeys. The term can refer to the physical act of walking or traveling, as well as the metaphorical journey of life or spiritual progress.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, מַהֲלָךְ is translated in contexts that emphasize the distance or path taken. For example, in 1 Kings 19:7, the angel of the LORD tells Elijah to eat, for "the journey is too much for you," highlighting the physical and spiritual journey Elijah must undertake.
• The word is also used in Ezekiel 42:4, where it describes a passage or corridor, indicating a specific space or distance within the temple complex.
• מַהֲלָךְ underscores the importance of movement and progress, whether in a physical, spiritual, or metaphorical sense. It reflects the dynamic nature of life and faith, where believers are often called to embark on journeys that require endurance and reliance on divine guidance.
