tsa.ad denotes a person’s steps, whether taken in movement or viewed as the course being directed, observed, or hindered.

The noun most often marks a person’s steps as a course that can be counted, observed, established, or directed; it also describes literal movement, including a measured number of steps, secure footing, a stride, and steps impeded or pursued.

1. Steps as a person’s course or conduct · dominant

   Plural construct forms occur where a person’s steps are counted or seen: in Job 31:4 the APB renders the clause “Does he not see my ways, and does he not count all my steps?” In Proverbs 16:9, the singular construct form stands alongside a man’s planned way and the LORD’s directing of his steps; Jeremiah 10:23 similarly places the singular construct form in a clause about a walker establishing his step.

2. Steps and footing in physical movement · common

   The noun names movement on the ground: in 2 Samuel 6:13 the APB says the ark’s bearers had “gone six steps,” while 2 Samuel 22:37 describes a widened place under the speaker so that his feet did not slip. In Job 18:7 vigorous steps are hampered, and in Lamentations 4:18 steps are hunted so that the people cannot walk in their streets.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the noun with “steps,” including clauses about counting, directing, slipping, and walking; Proverbs 30:29 instead uses “stride” and “gait.” In Psalm 18:37, the supplied APB renders pursuit of enemies without an identifiable English counterpart for the noun, so its specific translation rendering is unclear.
