running, manner of running; course of life or conduct
A feminine noun from the root ruts ('to run') describing either the physical act and style of running or, metaphorically, the course of one's life and conduct. In 2 Samuel 18:27 Ahimaaz is recognized by his distinctive running style, while Jeremiah uses it for the wayward moral course of the people (Jer 8:6; 23:10). Spanish 'carrera' neatly spans both the athletic and figurative dimensions.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The physical manner or style of running, used to identify a person by how they run. In 2 Samuel 18:27, the watchman recognizes the runner's gait as that of Ahimaaz son of Zadok. Spanish 'carrera-de' and the construct form merutsat confirm the sense of a characteristic running motion belonging to an individual. Both occurrences in 2 Samuel 18:27 (Qere and variant) point to this concrete athletic sense. 5×
