Exegesis
The prepositional phrase b’derekh akher {בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אַחֵ֑ר | bə-de-reḵ a-ḥer} ‘in another way’ contrasts with the prior path.
The negative construction ve-lo-šāḇ {וְלֹֽא־שָׁ֣ב | ve-lo-šāḇ} ‘and he did not return’ emphasizes the refusal to reverse direction, followed by the specifying relative clause ba-dereḵ ašer ba-h {בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֛ר בָּ֥א בָ֖הּ | ba-de-reḵ a-šer ba ba-h} ‘by the way which he came in it.’
