adult-male men
| Root | ἀνήρ (anēr) |
| Core Meanings | adult male, man, husband, male individual, distinguished man |
| Semantic Range | adult male person, husband, man in contrast to woman, socially recognized male adult, warrior or representative male figure |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἀνήρ often emphasizes maleness in distinction from women or children and can denote husbands or socially responsible adult males. It frequently carries connotations of maturity, authority, covenantal responsibility, or representative standing within family and community structures. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMP = noun, accusative case, masculine gender, plural number. Functions typically as a direct object in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma ἀνήρ refers specifically to an adult male person, distinguishing it from ἄνθρωπος (human being in general). The form ἄνδρας is accusative masculine plural, which in English is reflected by the plural object form "men"; the rendering "adult-male men" preserves the gender-specific and mature-male sense inherent in the root. |
