Name of God’s Son

ΣΩΜΑΔ', σωμαδ'

SŌMAD', sōmad'

Sounds Like: SOH-mahd

Translations: body, a body, flesh, substance

From the root: ΣΩΜΑ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This word is likely an elision of the dative singular form of the noun ΣΩΜΑ (sōma), which means 'body' or 'flesh'. The final 'ι' (iota) of ΣΩΜΑΤΙ (sōmati) would have been elided before a word starting with a vowel, indicated by the apostrophe. Therefore, it would mean 'to the body' or 'for the body'. It is also possible, though less likely given the context, that the 'Δ'' represents the numeral 4, as 'Δ' is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet and a keraia (apostrophe) can indicate a number. However, in this context, it is almost certainly an elision of 'ΣΩΜΑΤΙ'.

Inflection: Singular, Dative, Neuter (elided form of ΣΩΜΑΤΙ)

Strong’s number: G4983 (Lookup on BibleHub)
