SIBI-P1 G1684-05
having stepped-into (masculine singular)
| Root | ἐμβαίνω (embainō) |
| Core Meanings | step into, go into, embark, enter upon, set foot in |
| Semantic Range | to step into a place, to enter, to board a boat, to set foot in, to go up into, to embark upon |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of entering boats or specific locations in the Gospels, the term highlights deliberate movement from one sphere into another. Its imagery of stepping into can mark transitions in narrative scenes, including moments of teaching, crossing boundaries, or initiating significant acts. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,NMS). The aorist participle denotes action completed prior to the action of the main verb; active voice indicates the subject performs the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle conveys a completed action prior to the main verb, so "having stepped-into" reflects the simple, completed aspect of the aorist. Rendering it with "stepped" preserves the root connection to βάσις (step, foot), while "into" reflects the prefixed ἐν (in). The nominative masculine singular form is noted to reflect agreement with a masculine singular subject. |
