SIBI-P1 G2819-01
an allotted lot-portion
| Root | κλῆρος (klēros) |
| Core Meanings | lot, allotted portion, share, inheritance, assigned part |
| Semantic Range | a casting of lots; the lot itself; an allotted share; a portion assigned; an inheritance; a share in a community or divine blessing |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, κλῆρος evokes the covenantal idea of land and inheritance allotted by YHWH, as well as participation in a divinely assigned portion or calling. It can signify both physical inheritance (land) and spiritual share in the people of God, underscoring divine sovereignty in apportioning destiny and blessing. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS,). Functions as a direct object; singular in number; masculine gender; no tense or voice distinctions as a noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root idea of something obtained or assigned by lot (κλῆρος) while highlighting its extended sense of an apportioned share or inheritance. The form is accusative masculine singular (AMS), so it is expressed as a singular, indefinite direct object (“an … portion”), matching its grammatical function. |
