SIBI-P1 G4183-08

to/for/by much (amount)

Rootπολύς (polys)
Core Meaningsmuch, many, great (in quantity or degree), abundant, extensive
Semantic Rangemuch, a great amount, greatly, by far, considerably, abundantly, to a great degree
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, πολύς language emphasizes abundance—whether of mercy, grace, suffering, or people—highlighting divine generosity, overwhelming magnitude, or marked contrast by degree.
Morphological NotesAdjective πολύς; dative neuter singular (Gr,RI,,,,DNS). Functions substantivally here, expressing quantity or degree in the dative case (often instrumental or degree of difference).
Rendering RationaleThe lemma πολύς denotes great quantity or degree. The form πολλῷ is dative neuter singular, which can function as dative of means, degree, or advantage; thus "to/for/by much (amount)" preserves both the core quantitative sense and the grammatical force of the dative neuter singular.
