he/she/it was giving
| Root | δίδωμι (didōmi) |
| Core Meanings | give, grant, bestow, hand over, deliver, offer |
| Semantic Range | to give, grant, bestow, hand over, deliver up, offer, assign, permit, cause, produce, strike, render |
| Conceptual Significance | δίδωμι is a foundational biblical verb expressing divine generosity, authority, and transfer—whether of gifts, commandments, judgment, or life itself. In narrative contexts, the imperfect form often highlights sustained generosity, repeated distribution, or ongoing action, underscoring character and intent. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense; active voice; indicative mood; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IIA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes past continuous or habitual action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb δίδωμι means "to give" or "to bestow." The imperfect active indicative (3rd person singular) form ἐδίδου expresses continuous or repeated action in past time, hence "was giving" or "kept giving," preserving the ongoing aspect of the imperfect tense. |
