of the (masculine singular one)
| Root | ὁ (ho) |
| Core Meanings | the definite article, this, that, the one, the same |
| Semantic Range | marks definiteness; indicates possession ("of the"), source, relationship, partitive sense, or description; can function substantivally as "of the one"; may carry demonstrative force ("of this/that"). |
| Conceptual Significance | Though often untranslated or taken for granted in English, the Greek article structures meaning by specifying identity, possession, and relationship. In theological contexts it can particularize key titles (e.g., "of the Son," "of the Lord"), reinforcing covenantal and relational specificity within the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,EA,,,,GMS — Greek definite article, genitive case, masculine gender, singular number. It functions adjectivally, agreeing with a masculine singular noun in the genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form τοῦ is the genitive masculine singular of the definite article ὁ. Rendering it as "of the (masculine singular one)" preserves the genitive sense (possession, source, or relation) and explicitly reflects its masculine singular agreement with the noun it modifies. |
