SIBI-P1 Translation G1093-03
of the land
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form denotes possession, source, or relation, so "of the land" preserves the core terrestrial sense of γῆ while accurately reflecting the genitive case. |

earth
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Of the land' (P1) is possible, but in this apocalyptic and global context, 'earth' is the standard rendering and most contextually appropriate. This aligns with the usage in Revelation and most translations. |
