SIBI-P1 G2453-05
the Judeans
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,NMP,); functioning as a subject or predicate nominative, referring to a group of males or a mixed group identified with Judah/Judea. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from Ἰούδα (Judah) and denotes those belonging to the region or people of Judah. Rendering it as "the Judeans" preserves the geographical and tribal-root connection rather than using the later religious term "Jews." The nominative masculine plural form is reflected in the plural subject sense "the Judeans." |
