to the brother
| Root | ἀδελφός (adelphos) |
| Core Meanings | brother, womb-mate, kinsman, fellow member |
| Semantic Range | male sibling, close kinsman, fellow Israelite, spiritual brother, member of the same community or covenant family |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἀδελφός expresses not only biological brotherhood but covenantal and spiritual kinship among the people of God, emphasizing shared origin, solidarity, and mutual responsibility within the community. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,); denotes a male sibling or fellow member functioning here as indirect object, recipient, or reference. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core meaning "brother" (one from the same womb or kin group) while explicitly reflecting the dative masculine singular form with "to the brother," indicating indirect object, association, or reference. The masculine singular sense is inherent in "brother," and the dative case is conveyed by the preposition "to." |
