SIBI-P1 Translation G2414-03
of Jerusalem
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, neuter, plural (proper noun functioning as a singular city name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or association, rendered naturally in English as "of Jerusalem." Although morphologically plural in Greek, the name functions as a singular city, so the proper name is preserved while reflecting the genitive case. |
