Strong's Lexicon magal or magalah: Path, track, course, circuit Original Word: מַעְגָּל Word Origin: Derived from the root עָגַל (agal), meaning "to roll" or "to revolve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a path or way is often translated in the New Testament with words like ὁδός (hodos - Strong's Greek 3598), meaning "way" or "road." Usage: The Hebrew word "magal" or "magalah" refers to a path or track, often implying a circular or repetitive route. It can denote a literal path or a metaphorical course of life or conduct. The term is used to describe the way one should walk in righteousness or the habitual paths of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, paths and tracks were vital for travel, trade, and communication. They were often well-trodden routes that connected towns and villages. The imagery of a path or track is frequently used in Hebrew literature to symbolize the journey of life, moral choices, and the pursuit of righteousness. The circular nature of "magal" can also imply the cyclical patterns of life and the importance of staying on the right path.
