SIBI-P1 Translation G2412-01
sacred-fitting ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (substantive use), accusative feminine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of ἱερός (sacred) and πρέπω (to be fitting), expressing what is suitable for sacred matters. "Ones" reflects its substantive adjectival use, and the plural form corresponds to the accusative feminine plural morphology (gender not marked in English). |
