to/for three (dative plural)
| Root | τρεῖς (treis) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, group of three |
| Semantic Range | the number three; a group or set of three; used in counting, enumeration, time references (three days), witnesses, or symbolic triads. |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three often conveys completeness, confirmation, or established testimony in biblical literature (e.g., three witnesses, three days, triadic patterns), contributing to themes of fullness and divine ordering. |
| Morphological Notes | Numeral (indeclinable by gender in English translation); dative plural masculine or feminine (Gr,EN/NS,,,,DFP/DMP). Functions as indirect object or object of preposition in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma τρεῖς denotes the cardinal number "three." The form τρισὶν is dative plural (masculine or feminine), so the rendering "to/for three" preserves the dative case while retaining the core numerical sense. English does not mark gender in numerals, but the plural dative function is reflected by the prepositional sense. |
