of the boundary-limits
| Root | ὅριον (horion) |
| Core Meanings | boundary, limit, border, frontier, territorial region |
| Semantic Range | physical borders, territorial limits, frontier regions, appointed boundaries, metaphorical limits or determined extents |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ὅριον often refers to tribal allotments, national frontiers, or divinely established limits of habitation. It can signify both geographical boundaries and the theological concept of God-ordained limits placed upon peoples and lands. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; genitive; neuter; plural (Gr,N,,,,,GNP,). The form ὁρίων is the genitive plural of ὅριον, indicating possession, source, or association with multiple boundaries or regions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of ὅριον as a fixed boundary or limit while reflecting the genitive plural form through "of the" and the plural "limits." This maintains both the territorial nuance and the grammatical marking of possession or association inherent in the genitive case. |
