SIBI-P1 G165-04
of the ages
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP,). The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, relation, or description; plural denotes multiple ages or epochs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form αἰώνων is rendered "of the ages" to preserve both the root sense of extended epochs or world-orders and the grammatical force of the genitive masculine plural. The translation maintains the plural idea of multiple ages and the possessive or descriptive genitive relationship expressed in context (e.g., "King of the ages," "before the ages"). |
