SIBI-P1 G2316-08
divine-ones
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP,); from lemma θεός; functions as a direct object in the sentence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "divine-ones" preserves the core sense of θεός as a deity or mighty divine being while making explicit the plural form. The morphology (accusative masculine plural) indicates these are multiple male-gendered deities functioning as direct objects in their clauses, which is reflected by the plural form in English. |
