SIBI-P1 G3588-10

of the (feminine singular)

Root (ho)
Core Meaningsthe definite article, the, this, that, particular/identified one
Semantic Rangemarks definiteness; can denote possession ("of the"), source, relationship, description, or partitive sense depending on context; may function substantivally to mean "of the one (feminine)" when standing alone.
Conceptual SignificanceThe Greek article plays a crucial role in specifying and particularizing persons, places, and concepts in Scripture, often distinguishing a specific, known entity from a general one and sometimes carrying demonstrative or identifying force in theological expressions.
Morphological NotesGr,EA or RD,,,,GFS = definite article (or related demonstrative form), genitive, feminine, singular. It agrees with a feminine singular noun in case, gender, and number and functions adjectivally to mark definiteness.
Rendering RationaleThe form τῆς is the genitive feminine singular of the definite article ὁ. Rendering it as "of the (feminine singular)" preserves the genitive case (showing possession, source, or relation), the definiteness of the noun it modifies, and its agreement with a feminine singular noun.
