SIBI-P1 G4521-03
on the Sabbath-rest
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative case, neuter gender, singular number (Gr,N,,,,,DNS,). The dative here commonly functions as a temporal dative (“on the Sabbath”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the Hebrew-root sense of "cessation" or "rest" embedded in σάββατον by expressing it as "Sabbath-rest." The dative neuter singular form is reflected by the prepositional sense "on," which commonly conveys the temporal dative in Greek, indicating the specific day on which something occurs. |
