| Conceptual Significance | Grain, especially wheat, was a staple of the ancient Mediterranean diet and a primary measure of sustenance and economic stability. In biblical contexts it often signifies provision, daily bread, agricultural blessing, and at times becomes imagery for life, death, and multiplication (e.g., seed falling into the ground). |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS,); second-declension masculine noun; here appearing in the direct-object case. |
| Rendering Rationale | σῖτον is the accusative masculine singular form of σῖτος, denoting grain or wheat. The rendering "the grain" preserves the concrete agricultural sense of the noun, while noting its masculine singular accusative form, indicating it functions as a direct object in its clauses. |
