Language

mas.lul denotes the elevated way described as a route reserved for those walking it without straying.

The attested use denotes a designated route: in Isaiah 35:8 it is named alongside a way of holiness and is described as a path on which the unclean do not pass and walkers do not go astray.

Senses in use

  1. A designated route for those who walk it · dominant

    In Isaiah 35:8, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause announcing a highway and a way. The verse sets this route alongside holiness, excludes the unclean from passing over it, and says that those walking the way do not go astray; the APB renders the opening clause, "A highway will be there, and a way."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 35:8 the APB presents the clause with "A highway" and then "a way,", so the lemma's exact English counterpart cannot be isolated with certainty.
