"Walked"
(Heb. halak) (Gen. 5:24; 6:9; Deut. 13:4; Ps. 128:1; Mic. 6:8) Strong’s #1980: The basic meaning of the Hebrew verb translated here as walk is “to go” or “to travel.” The word is used often in the OT to signify merely a simple act of motion (Gen. 13:17; 2 Sam. 11:2). In 6:9 and other passages, the word possesses connotations of a habitual manner of life or a constant relationship with God. Thus the word describes Noah, Enoch, and other people of faith as living in a close relationship with their God and in obedience to His commands. Throughout Scripture, believers are called to walk with God daily, abiding in Him completely (Gal. 5:16; 1 John 2:6).
