SIBI-P1 G2374-05

of the doorway (feminine singular genitive) / the doorways (feminine plural accusative)

Rootθύρα (thýra)
Core Meaningsdoor, doorway, entrance, gate, portal
Semantic RangeLiteral door or gate of a house, city, or structure; entrance or access point; metaphorical opportunity; means of entry; threshold of relationship or revelation.
Conceptual Significanceθύρα frequently symbolizes access—whether to a house, a city, salvation, or divine revelation. In biblical theology, it can represent opportunity granted by God, entry into covenant life, or the Messiah himself as the true point of access.
Morphological NotesNoun from θύρα. Forms attested here are genitive feminine singular (GFS) and accusative feminine plural (AFP). Genitive singular expresses possession, source, or association; accusative plural functions as direct object or goal of motion.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the core image of θύρα as a physical or figurative entrance. The genitive feminine singular is reflected by "of the doorway," indicating possession or relation, while the accusative feminine plural is reflected by "the doorways," marking them as direct objects. Both maintain the feminine gender and number distinctions present in the morphology.
