SIBI-P1 G435-04
men (adult males)
| Root | ἀνήρ (anēr) |
| Core Meanings | man, adult male, husband, male person of standing |
| Semantic Range | adult men, husbands, male individuals, men of a group or assembly, respected male figures |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἀνήρ often highlights male identity in social, covenantal, or communal contexts, distinguishing adult males within Israel or the early assemblies, and frequently functioning in formal addresses ("Men, brothers...") that reflect ordered communal life. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMP — noun, nominative case, masculine gender, plural number; functioning typically as the subject or as a nominative of address in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma ἀνήρ denotes an adult male, often with emphasis on maleness or social standing, distinct from ἄνθρωπος (human being). The form ἄνδρες is nominative masculine plural, so "men (adult males)" preserves both the male-specific sense and the plural subject form. |
