o.rach denotes ways or courses, explicitly appearing in Daniel’s reference to “all your ways.”

The attested construct-plural forms refer to ways or courses; Daniel 5:23 explicitly places the term in the statement that God holds a person’s breath and all their ways, while its specific contribution in Daniel 4:34 is not isolated by the translation.

Senses in use

  1. A person’s ways or courses · dominant

    Both occurrences are common feminine plural construct forms. In Daniel 5:23 the APB renders the surrounding clause, “the God in whose hand is your breath and all your ways,” directly displaying this use; in Daniel 4:34 the APB’s account of Nebuchadnezzar’s restored knowledge does not isolate the term’s contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 5:23, the APB includes “all your ways” in the clause containing the term. In Daniel 4:34, the translation does not provide an identifiable English counterpart.
