SIBI-P1 G5330-04

of the Separated Ones

RootΦαρισαῖος (Pharisaios)
Core Meaningsseparated one, separatist, member of a strict religious sect
Semantic Rangea member of the Pharisaic sect; a religious separatist devoted to strict Torah observance; by extension, a representative of a particular interpretive tradition within Second Temple Judaism
Conceptual SignificanceThe Pharisees were a prominent Jewish sect known for rigorous adherence to the Law and oral traditions. In the Gospels and Acts, they appear as influential interpreters of Torah, sometimes portrayed as exemplars of legal precision and, at times, as embodying religious separation that could become externalized or hypocritical.
Morphological NotesNoun, genitive, masculine, plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP,). The form Φαρισαίων denotes possession, source, or association and refers to multiple male members of the group.
Rendering RationaleThe term derives from a Hebrew root meaning "to separate," highlighting the group’s identity as those set apart for strict observance of the Law. Rendering it "of the Separated Ones" preserves both the root concept of separation and the genitive masculine plural form indicated by the morphology.
