| Core Meanings | law, custom, regulation, ordinance, prescribed order, apportioned rule |
| Semantic Range | law as Mosaic Torah; legal code; custom or established norm; governing principle; binding regulation; divinely given instruction. |
| Conceptual Significance | νόμος is central to Jewish and early Christian thought, denoting the Torah as covenantal instruction given through Moses, and by extension any binding divine or moral order. In theological discourse it can signify the Mosaic Law, Scripture as authoritative instruction, or a governing spiritual principle contrasted with grace or faith. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMS — noun, accusative case, masculine, singular; functioning as a direct object in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | νόμον is the accusative masculine singular form of νόμος, derived from the idea of apportioning or assigning. "The apportioned-law" preserves the root sense of something distributed or prescribed as binding order, while the singular definite form reflects the accusative singular noun functioning as a direct object. |
