SIBI-P1 Translation G4521-01
to the Sabbaths
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative plural, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNP); indicates indirect object, sphere, or reference in plural form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form denotes multiple instances of the Sabbath or rest days; rendering it as "to the Sabbaths" preserves the dative case and plural number while retaining the root sense of designated rest periods. |
