Prov 3.6 LXX
6 ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς σου γνώριζε αὐτήν, ἵνα ὀρθοτομῇ τὰς ὁδούς σου,[ ὁ δὲ πούς σου οὐ μὴ προσκόπτῃ. ] 
6 EN PASAIS hODOIS SOU GNWRIZE AUTHN, hINA ORQOTOMHi TAS hODOUS SOU, [hO DE POUS SOU MH PROSKOPTHi.]

Prov 11.5 LXX 
5 δικαιοσύνη ἀμώμους ὀρθοτομεῖ ὁδούς, ἀσέβεια δὲ περιπίπτει ἀδικίᾳ. 
5 DIKAIOSUNH AMWMOUS ORQOTOMEI hODOUS, ASEBEIA PERIPIPTEI ADIKIAi.

In both cases the Hebrew word is ישׁר Y$R which is glossed "be straight, smooth, right."  When used with בְּעֵינֵי B.:("YN"Y "in the eyes of" and a person [or God] it signifies "to please."

I wonder if a Hebrew scholar can contribute to the meaning of this hapax legomenon (in the NT) by explaining the Hebrew word that the LXX translates in Prov 3.6 or 11.5. What is the Hebrew word behind orthotomew and what is its meaning?
