SIBI-P1 G1085-02

to the kin-group

Rootγένος (genos)
Core Meaningskind, kin, race, lineage, offspring, stock, nation
Semantic Rangefamily line, offspring, ethnic group, nation, type or class, biological kind, spiritual lineage
Conceptual Significanceγένoς emphasizes origin and shared identity, whether biological, ethnic, or spiritual. In biblical usage it can mark covenant lineage, national identity, or a defined class within God’s ordering of creation, highlighting belonging and inherited status.
Morphological NotesNoun, dative singular neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNS,). The dative case typically expresses indirect object, sphere, reference, or means; here it denotes relation "to" or "in" a particular kind or lineage.
Rendering Rationaleγένει is the dative singular neuter form of γένος, which denotes a kind, lineage, or kin-group arising from a common origin. Rendering it as "to the kin-group" preserves the core idea of shared origin or stock while clearly reflecting the dative case ("to/for") and singular number.
