well-trodden paths
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; plural; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root meaning "to tread" or "beat down," denoting paths formed by repeated travel. The plural absolute form is reflected in the English plural "paths," with "well-trodden" preserving the root sense of repeated trampling. |

the paths
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'The paths' aligns with the context, as it refers generically to established tracks, and is simpler and more accurate for נְתִיבוֹת here. 'Well-trodden' is overly specific in this context. |
