Exegesis
The adjective rav {רַ֥ב | râḇ} ‘great/exceeding’ governs the genitive mimmekha {מִמְּךָ֖ | mim-mĕ-ḵā} ‘from you’ and the noun hadarekh {הַדָּֽרֶךְ׃ | had-dā-reḵ} ‘journey,’ resulting in an evaluative statement that the path imposes too heavy a burden. The English renderings preserve Hebrew verbal sequencing and causal relation while adapting idiomatic phrasing.
Root and etymology
dalet–resh–kaph

In context — 1 Kings 19:7
