Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase plus relative clause, בַּדֶּ֖רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָלָֽכְתָּ {בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלָכְתָּ | bad-dereḵ ʾăšer hālak-tā}, narrows the third prohibition to a specific route, portraying obedience as concrete, measurable action rather than a general attitude.
In context — 1 Kings 13:9
For thus it was commanded to me by the word of the LORD , saying: “You shall not eat bread , and you shall not drink water, and you shall not return by the way which you went.”
