SIBI-P1 G1085-04

of a birth-stock

Rootγένος (genos)
Core Meaningskind, kin, offspring, stock, lineage, nation, family line
Semantic Rangefamily line, lineage, clan, ethnic group, nation, kind, category, offspring, descendants
Conceptual Significanceγένους expresses identity through origin—whether biological descent, ethnic lineage, or shared classification. In biblical contexts it can mark covenant lineage, ethnic belonging, or spiritual kinship, emphasizing derivation from a common source.
Morphological NotesNoun, genitive singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNS). The genitive case indicates possession, source, origin, or classification; singular neuter modifies or depends on another noun in context.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive singular neuter form γένους denotes possession, source, or classification—"of a stock/kind." Rendering it as "of a birth-stock" preserves the root connection to γίνομαι (to become, to be born) and reflects the genitive case by expressing source or belonging.
