SIBI-P1 G2288-02

to death

Rootθάνατος (thanatos)
Core Meaningsdeath, dying, state of death, deadly fate, realm of the dead
Semantic Rangephysical death, mortal end, execution; spiritual death; separation from God; the power or realm of death personified; deadly consequence
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, θάνατος signifies not only physical cessation of life but also the covenantal consequence of sin and separation from God. It is often personified as a ruling power and stands in theological contrast to life (ζωή) granted through divine deliverance.
Morphological NotesNoun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,). The dative case expresses indirect object, means, sphere, or association; here it is a singular reference to death as a state or power.
Rendering RationaleThe form θανάτῳ is dative masculine singular, indicating relation such as direction, means, or sphere. "To death" preserves the noun’s core sense while reflecting the dative case, which can denote movement toward, instrumentality ("by death"), or condition ("in death") depending on context.
