ΙΜΑΣΙΝ, ιμασιν

IMASIN, imasin

Sounds Like: ee-MAH-sin

Translations: thong, strap, lash, a thong, a strap, a lash

From the root: ΙΜΑΣ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This word refers to a thong, strap, or lash, typically made of leather. It can be used to describe a sandal strap, a whip, or a cord for binding. In the provided context, it seems to be a misspelling of 'ΑΙΜΑΣΙΝ' (haimasin), which is the dative plural of 'ΑΙΜΑ' (haima), meaning 'blood'. If it were 'ΑΙΜΑΣΙΝ', it would mean 'in blood' or 'with blood'. However, if 'ΙΜΑΣΙΝ' is intended, it would mean 'with thongs' or 'with straps'. Given the context of building cities and mixing, 'ΑΙΜΑΣΙΝ' (blood) is far more likely.

Inflection: Plural, Dative, Masculine

Strong’s number: G2438 (Lookup on BibleHub)
