Both the usages of ORQOTOMEW in the Hebrew text are translations of
yashar. Those are found in Proverbs 3:6 and 11:5.
3:6
PASAIS ODOIS SOU GNWRIZE AUTHN INA ORQOTOMH TAS ODOUS SOU
11:5
DIKAIOSUNH AMWMOUS ORQOTOMEI ODOUS, ASEBEIA DE PERIPIPTEI ADIKIA
Making a straight course for the message of the truth might be
appropriate for ORTHOTOMOUNTA TON LOGON THS ALHQEIAS, especially given
the negative context of verses 14 and 16.
Moulton and Milligan mention the work of a mason as well as the road
building aspect.
