They were often simple dirt tracks worn down by frequent use. The concept of a "path" was also significant in philosophical and religious contexts, symbolizing a way of life or a journey toward a particular goal. In Jewish thought, the "path" often represented the way of righteousness or the law of God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5147</b> <i>tríbos</i> (from <i>tribō</i>, "to rub") – properly, a rut (path) formed by <i>rubbing</i> (constant use); (figuratively) the "route" established by the Lord, where people can best know Him. This is also a <i>regular</i> path that all saints must travel in their spiritual journey (romance) of knowing God. It is the "road of faith," which God equally extends to all people, so all can know Him for who He really is (personally grasping His attributes, cf.
