Βασιλείας
basileía
kingdom
Dominion or sovereignty exercised by a ruler (typically a king); also, the realm or sphere over which such authority is exercised. In different contexts, can refer to (1) the supreme authority or royal power (kingship), (2) the geographical territory or political entity ruled by a king (kingdom, realm), or (3) a domain, order, or realm of influence, whether earthly or transcendent. In religious contexts, often used to designate the domain or dynamic reign of God, but context determines whether the emphasis is on the authority, the process of ruling, or the spatial/political entity.

SIBI-P1 Translation G932-03
kingdoms
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AFP): direct-object form, referring to multiple realms or expressions of kingship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural noun denotes multiple instances of royal dominion or realms under kingly rule. Rendering it as "kingdoms" preserves the βασιλε- root sense of kingly authority expressed in concrete or territorial form, and reflects the accusative feminine plural morphology. |
