SIBI-P1 G40-12

of the set-apart (thing)

Rootἅγιος (hagios)
Core Meaningsholy, set-apart, sacred, consecrated, pure
Semantic Rangesacred, consecrated, holy, morally pure, devoted to God, belonging to the divine sphere
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, ἅγιος expresses separation unto God—what belongs uniquely to Him. It marks persons, places, times, and things as distinct from the common realm and devoted to divine purpose, forming a foundational concept for holiness in both covenant and community identity.
Morphological NotesAdjective (AA/AR), genitive neuter singular (GNS). Functions attributively or substantively to denote that which is holy or set apart.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the core idea of ἅγιος as that which is set apart or sacred. The genitive singular neuter form (GNS) is reflected by "of" (genitive) and "(thing)" to indicate neuter singular substantival use.
