to the offspring
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative plural, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNP): indicating indirect object, association, or reference; plural denotes multiple children or descendants. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form denotes indirect object or relational reference, rendered as "to the offspring" to preserve both plurality and the sense of those begotten. "Offspring" reflects the root idea of that which is born or produced from a parent. |
