SIBI-P1 G1510-38

of the one who is

Rootεἰμί (eimi)
Core Meaningsbe, exist, am, identity, reality
Semantic Rangeexisting, being, real, true, actual; one who is; that which exists; state of being or reality
Conceptual SignificanceAs the participial form of "to be," ὁ ὢν ("the One who is") becomes a divine title in the Septuagint, echoing the self-revelation of YHWH in Exodus 3:14. The term emphasizes ongoing, self-sustained existence and undergirds biblical themes of divine aseity, reality, and true being.
Morphological NotesVerb; present active participle; genitive masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,GMS). It functions adjectivally or substantivally, describing or identifying a masculine singular referent in the genitive case.
Rendering RationaleThe form ὄντος is the present active participle, genitive masculine singular, of εἰμί ("to be"). "Of the one who is" preserves the genitive case ("of"), the masculine singular participial force ("the one"), and the ongoing present aspect of existence ("who is").
