Strong's Lexicon orach: Path, way, course Original Word: אֹרַח Word Origin: Derived from the root אָרַח (arakh), meaning "to travel" or "to journey." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3598 (hodos): Meaning "way" or "road," often used in the New Testament to describe the Christian faith as "The Way." Usage: The Hebrew word "orach" primarily denotes a path or way, often used metaphorically to describe the course of life or conduct. It can refer to a physical path or road, but more frequently, it is used to describe the moral or spiritual direction one takes. In the Old Testament, "orach" is often associated with righteousness, wisdom, and the pursuit of God's ways. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a "path" or "way" was deeply embedded in the cultural and religious consciousness. The Israelites were a nomadic people for much of their early history, and the imagery of a path or journey was a natural metaphor for life and spiritual pursuit. The "way" one chooses was seen as indicative of one's character and relationship with God. The Torah, or Law, was often viewed as a guide or path to righteous living.
