SIBI-P1 G1139-05
the one being-demonized
| Root | δαιμονίζομαι (daimonizomai) |
| Core Meanings | to be under a daimōn, to be afflicted or controlled by a spirit-being, to be demonized |
| Semantic Range | to be possessed by a demon, to be afflicted by an unclean spirit, to be under spiritual oppression, to exhibit behavior attributed to demonic influence |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Gospels, this term describes individuals understood to be under the active influence of hostile spirit-beings. It reflects Second Temple Jewish cosmology regarding personal spiritual forces and highlights the authority of Yeshua over such beings, demonstrating liberation from oppressive spiritual powers. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present middle participle. Forms include accusative masculine singular (δαιμονιζόμενον) and genitive masculine plural (δαιμονιζομένων). Present tense indicates ongoing state; middle voice conveys involvement or affectedness; participle functions adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root idea of δαίμων (a spirit-being) by expressing the state of being acted upon by such a being. "Being-demonized" reflects the present tense (ongoing condition) and middle/passive form, while "the one" reflects the accusative masculine singular participle form attested here (also occurring as "of those being-demonized" in the genitive masculine plural). |
