to the thronging crowds
| Root | ὄχλος (ochlos) |
| Core Meanings | throng, crowd, multitude, mass of people, populace |
| Semantic Range | a gathered multitude, throng, large group of common people, populace, public assembly, disorderly mass, or riotous crowd depending on context |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Gospels and Acts, ὄχλος often represents the gathered masses who follow, question, or react to Yeshua and the apostles. The term can highlight both widespread interest and volatility, portraying the collective movement and responsiveness of the people within the unfolding redemptive narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; dative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,DMP,). The dative case commonly expresses indirect object, association ("with"), location ("among"), or advantage/disadvantage ("for"). Masculine grammatical gender; plural number. |
| Rendering Rationale | Ὄχλοις is the dative masculine plural form of ὄχλος, denoting multiple crowds. The rendering "to the thronging crowds" preserves the plural number and reflects the dative case (often expressing direction, association, or advantage), while retaining the root sense of a mass borne or pressed together. |
