"But That Thou Wouldst Clear My Way Before Me": A Note on the Rendering of an Ancient Idiom in 2 Nephi Nephi 4:33
Abstract: The biblical Hebrew collocation pinnâ derek or pannû derek (cf. Egyptian Ἰr wꜣ.t [n]), often rendered "prepare the way" or "prepare a way" in English, is an evident stylistic feature of Nephi's writings. The most basic meaning of this idiom is "clear my way," which is how it is rendered in 2 Nephi 4:33. Zenos's use of "prepare the way" (Jacob 5:61, 64) in the context of "clear[ing] away" bad branches also reflects this most basic meaning.
