SIBI-P1 G3962-07
to the father
| Root | πατήρ (patēr) |
| Core Meanings | father, ancestor, progenitor, source, originator |
| Semantic Range | biological father, forefather/ancestor, patriarch, founding figure, spiritual father, source or origin, God as Father |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, πατήρ denotes not only a biological parent but also covenantal ancestry (the patriarchs) and divine fatherhood. When referring to God, it expresses relational intimacy, authority, origin, and covenant identity within Israel and the early believing community. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,). The dative case commonly expresses indirect object ("to" or "for"), association, or reference; masculine gender; singular number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core familial meaning of πατήρ as "father" while explicitly reflecting the dative masculine singular form with the prepositional sense "to" (dative case), and the singular masculine identity of the noun. This maintains both lexical meaning and grammatical function. |
