a share-portion
| Root | μερίς (meris) |
| Core Meanings | portion, share, allotted part, participation, district |
| Semantic Range | a physical portion of food or land, an allotted inheritance, a district or province, a share in an activity, participation in something abstract |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, μερίς often conveys the idea of an allotted inheritance or assigned share, whether material (land, food) or relational/spiritual (a share in ministry or in the Lord). It can express covenantal inheritance themes central to Israel’s identity and later participation in the promises through Messiah. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS,); denotes one specific portion or share functioning as the direct object of a verb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "share-portion" preserves the root idea of something divided and allotted from a larger whole, reflecting its connection to μέρος (a part). The accusative feminine singular form indicates a single portion functioning as the direct object in its clause, which is conveyed in English by the singular "a." |
