SIBI-P1 G3485-03
the dwelling-sanctuary
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative case; masculine gender; singular number (Gr,N,,,,,AMS). Functions typically as a direct object in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "dwelling-sanctuary" preserves the root sense from ναίω (to dwell), emphasizing the temple as the place of divine indwelling rather than the broader temple complex. The form is accusative masculine singular, reflected in the singular concrete object sense—"the dwelling-sanctuary"—as it would function as a direct object in context. |
