SIBI-P1 G740-07
bread-loaves
| Root | ἄρτος (artos) |
| Core Meanings | bread, loaf, baked bread, provision |
| Semantic Range | a single loaf of bread, multiple loaves, bread as daily food, consecrated bread (e.g., showbread), sustenance in general |
| Conceptual Significance | ἄρτος represents staple nourishment in the ancient Mediterranean world and becomes a key theological symbol in Scripture—associated with divine provision, covenant fellowship (showbread), and in the New Testament with the Messiah as the "bread of life" and the breaking of bread in communal remembrance. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP,). The form ἄρτους is the direct object plural of ἄρτος. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "bread-loaves" preserves the concrete sense of ἄρτος as a formed loaf of bread rather than bread in the abstract. The plural form reflects the accusative masculine plural morphology (AMP), indicating multiple loaves functioning as direct objects in context. |
