This word in its typical meaning refers to the manner of life and to the path pursued through life.
Genesis 24:40 (a) This man of GOD lived a life according to the will of GOD, and kept himself by faith in the presence of GOD. The same is true of Enoch as in Genesis 5:22. Also of Noah in Genesis 6:9.
1 Kings 6:12 (a) The same thought is found in this passage. The manner of life of Israel was to be in observance of the Word of GOD, and the will of GOD, as revealed in the law. (See also Ezekiel 33:15; Zechariah 3:7).
Galatians 5:16 (a) Again the manner of life is described in this passage, as also in Ephesians 5:2, and Ephesians 5:8.
