of a place
| Root | τόπος (topos) |
| Core Meanings | place, location, position, region, opportunity, circumstance |
| Semantic Range | a physical place or spot; a dwelling or room; a region or territory; a position or role; an opportunity; a circumstance or condition |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, τόπος can denote sacred space (e.g., a holy place), appointed locations of divine encounter, or metaphorical "place" as opportunity or standing. It often carries theological weight in contexts concerning God’s dwelling, human belonging, or appointed destiny. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,). The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, relationship, or description. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma τόπος denotes a specific place or location. The form τόπου is genitive masculine singular (GMS), which is best reflected by the English genitive construction "of a place," preserving both its singular number and its relational (genitive) function in the sentence. |
