Isa 40:3
EN TH ERHMW ETOIMASATE THN ODON KURIOU EUQEIAS POIEITE TAS TRIBOUS TOU QEOU HMWN

How would you translate this and why this way?
E.g. is it "the way to the lord" or "the way of the lord" or "a way for the lord" ( all
these are found in translations)
I have found this as an example for a Genitive of direction: "the way to the lord". What
indicators are there for this?

Best wishes
    Wieland
