ΠΟΙΜΑΝΕ'Ι, ποιμανε'ι

POIMANE'I, poimane'i

Sounds Like: poy-mah-NEH-ee

Translations: will shepherd, will rule, will guide, will tend, will feed, to shepherd, to rule, to guide, to tend, to feed

From the root: ΠΟΙΜΑΙΝΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is a form of the verb ποιμαίνω (poimainō), meaning 'to shepherd' or 'to rule'. The final apostrophe-like mark (keraia or coronis) indicates either a numerical value or an elision. In this context, it is most likely an elision, where the original word was ποιμανεῖ (poimanei), which is the third person singular future active indicative of ποιμαίνω, meaning 'he/she/it will shepherd/rule'. It can also be the third person singular present active indicative, meaning 'he/she/it shepherds/rules'. The word describes the act of leading, caring for, and governing, much like a shepherd cares for a flock. It is often used metaphorically for spiritual or political leadership.

Inflection: Third Person, Singular, Future Active Indicative or Present Active Indicative
