Give!
| Root | δίδωμι (didōmi) |
| Core Meanings | give, grant, bestow, hand over, deliver, entrust, impart |
| Semantic Range | to give, grant, bestow, offer, hand over, deliver up, entrust, assign, permit, cause to experience |
| Conceptual Significance | As a foundational verb of transfer and generosity, δίδωμι underlies themes of divine provision, covenant gift, forgiveness, and self-giving love. In imperative form, it frequently appears in prayers and commands, highlighting dependence on God as giver and the ethical call for humans to give in turn. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/summary action), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular. A direct command addressed to one individual, calling for the action of giving. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form δός/δὸς is the aorist active imperative, second person singular of δίδωμι, expressing a direct command to one person to perform the act of giving. The simple English imperative "Give!" preserves the verbal force, active voice, and singular address inherent in the Greek aorist imperative. |
