Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַד (yarad), meaning "to descend" or "to go down."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of a "way" or "path" is Strong's Greek Number G3598, ὁδός (hodos). While not a direct translation of מוֹרָד (morad), ὁδός (hodos) similarly conveys the idea of a path or journey, which can include descents or routes. This connection underscores the thematic link between physical journeys and spiritual or metaphorical paths in biblical literature. Usage: The word מוֹרָד (morad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical descents or slopes, as well as decorative elements that hang or drape. It appears in contexts that emphasize the act of descending or the presence of a downward feature. Context: • The term מוֹרָד (morad) is found in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often describing geographical features such as slopes or descents. For example, in Joshua 10:10, the word is used to describe the descent from Beth-horon, a significant location in the narrative of Israel's conquest of Canaan. The passage reads: "And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the road to Beth-horon and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah."
