SIBI-P1 G435-04

men (adult males)

Rootἀνήρ (anēr)
Core Meaningsman, adult male, husband, male person of standing
Semantic Rangeadult men, husbands, male individuals, men of a group or assembly, respected male figures
Conceptual SignificanceIn 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 NotesGr,N,,,,,NMP — noun, nominative case, masculine gender, plural number; functioning typically as the subject or as a nominative of address in form.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
