of bloods
| Root | αἷμα (haima) |
| Core Meanings | blood, lifeblood, bloodshed, kinship-line, sacrificial blood |
| Semantic Range | Literal blood of humans or animals; lifeblood as the seat of life; bloodshed or violent death; familial bloodline; sacrificial blood, especially in atonement contexts. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical theology, blood signifies life given by Elohim and thus carries weight in matters of covenant, atonement, and justice. The plural form can intensify themes of guilt for bloodshed or highlight multiple instances of life poured out, underscoring the gravity of violence or the richness of sacrificial imagery. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GNP = noun, genitive case, neuter, plural; from the lemma αἷμα (haima). The genitive typically expresses source, possession, association, or description. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form αἱμάτων is genitive plural, so the rendering preserves both the genitive case (“of”) and the plural number (“bloods”). Retaining the plural reflects the Greek form, which can emphasize multiple acts of bloodshed, sources of blood, or distinct life-bloods rather than a single undifferentiated substance. |
