Name of God’s Son

ΠΟΙΜΝΙΑʼ, ποιμνιαʼ

POIMNIAʼ, poimniaʼ

Sounds Like: poym-NEE-ah

Translations: flock, a flock, a little flock

From the root: ΠΟΙΜΝΙΟΝ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This word refers to a flock of sheep or goats, or metaphorically, a group of people under the care of a leader, such as a church congregation under a pastor. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this word is being used as a numeral, specifically the number 81. However, in the provided context, it is clearly functioning as a noun, meaning 'flocks'. The keraia here is likely a scribal error or a non-standard use, as the word 'flocks' would typically be written as ΠΟΙΜΝΙΑ.

Inflection: Plural, Nominative or Accusative, Neuter

Strong’s number: G4167 (Lookup on BibleHub)
