SIBI-P1 Translation G2453-03
of the land of Judah
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) — indicating possession, source, or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form denotes possession or association, so "of the land of Judah" preserves the implicit sense of territory inherent in Ἰουδαία while reflecting the genitive case. |
