SIBI-P1 Translation G1538-03
to each one
| Morphological Notes | Indefinite pronoun; dative masculine singular (Gr,RI/EQ,,,,DMS); distributive form meaning each individual considered separately. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative masculine singular form ἑκάστῳ expresses distributive individuality applied to each member of a group. "To each one" preserves both the distributive force of the root ἑκ- and the dative case sense. |
