Strong's Lexicon nathiyb: Path, pathway, track, way Original Word: נָתִיב Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to tramp or to tread. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3598 (hodos): Often translated as "way" or "path," used in the New Testament to describe a road or journey, and metaphorically for a course of conduct or way of life. Usage: The term "nathiyb" refers to a path or track, often implying a well-trodden way or a route that is established and recognizable. It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the way of life, moral conduct, or the course of action that one follows. The word suggests a deliberate and chosen path, often in the context of righteousness or wickedness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, paths and roads were crucial for travel, trade, and communication. They were often simple tracks worn by the feet of travelers and animals. The concept of a "path" in Hebrew thought extends beyond the physical to encompass one's journey through life, including moral and spiritual dimensions. The imagery of a path is frequently used in wisdom literature to contrast the way of the righteous with the way of the wicked.
