Strong's Lexicon mesillah: Highway, road, path, way Original Word: מְסִלָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root סָלַל (salal), meaning "to lift up" or "to cast up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3598 (hodos): Often translated as "way" or "road," used in the New Testament to describe both physical roads and metaphorical paths, such as the "way" of salvation. Usage: The term "mesillah" refers to a raised or constructed road, often a highway or main thoroughfare. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a prepared and maintained path, symbolizing a way that is made clear and accessible. This term can be both literal, referring to physical roads, and metaphorical, representing a way of life or spiritual journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, roads were crucial for trade, communication, and military movements. A "mesillah" would be a significant route, often elevated or cleared to ensure ease of travel. Such roads were vital for connecting cities and regions, facilitating the movement of people and goods. In a spiritual context, the concept of a "highway" often symbolizes the path of righteousness or the way prepared by God for His people.
