### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It stands for crooked, uneven ways of life, opposed to the "ancient paths" of the Torah. Interpretation: Jeremiah says the people left the old, firm road of God's commandments for untrodden side tracks. The tradition reads this as turning to idols and false ways.

### examples

- For My people hath forgotten Me, they offer unto vanity; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up; (Prophets JER.18.15, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/B/bypath/#x1)
