| Core Meanings | stone, rock, building stone, millstone, stumbling stone |
| Semantic Range | a literal stone or rock; a building stone; a millstone; a figurative stone such as a stumbling stone or cornerstone |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, λίθος can signify ordinary stones, tools of judgment (stoning), structural elements (cornerstones), or metaphorical realities such as the "stumbling stone" or the Messiah as the rejected yet chosen cornerstone, conveying themes of judgment, stability, and divine election. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,). The dative case can indicate indirect object, means/instrument, or location depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma λίθος means "stone." The form λίθῳ is dative masculine singular, which commonly expresses indirect object ("to a stone"), instrument ("with a stone"), or location ("on/in a stone"). Rendering it as "to/with a stone" preserves both the root meaning and the grammatical force of the dative singular form. |
