Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּתַל (pathal), which means to twist or to be twisted.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G995 (βασανίζω, basanizō): To torture, torment, or test by torture. Usage: The word פְתַלְתֹּל is used in the context of describing paths or ways that are not straightforward, often implying deceit or moral crookedness. Context: פְתַלְתֹּל (pethaltol) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe paths or ways that are not direct or straightforward. This term is often used metaphorically to describe moral or ethical behavior that is deceitful or perverse. The imagery of a tortuous path suggests a journey that is difficult to navigate due to its twists and turns, symbolizing the complexity and potential danger of deceitful actions. In the Berean Standard Bible, this concept is captured in Proverbs 2:15, which speaks of those "whose paths are crooked and whose ways are devious." The use of פְתַלְתֹּל in this context underscores the biblical warning against following a life of deception and moral ambiguity.
