Definition: a human being (normally an adult)

Notes: In RV MAT 14:35 · LV MAT 14:35 · Read together MAT 14:35 (ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ‘when the people of that place recognized him’) one may argue that οἱ ἄνδρες refers specifically to males, but the context would seem to indicate that the reference is to people in general. In translation a pronominal expression may frequently be employed when ἀνήρ[b] occurs in the text, for example, ‘when those who lived in that place recognized him.’|It is not uncommon in languages for a term which is often used to refer to an adult male to be employed also in a generic sense of ‘person.’ This is especially true when such terms are used in the plural form.|In a number of instances, generic meanings of receptor languages have not been recognized as such, since translators have assumed that such receptor-language terms refer only to members of a particular tribe or group (because they have been found only in specific contexts), while in reality such terms often designate people in general. One must, however, be on the alert for seemingly generic terms which refer only to the so-called ‘in-group,’ that is to say, members of a particular tribe, society, or community.|The parallelism in the RV ROM 4:8 · LV ROM 4:8 · Read together ROM 4:8 quotation from RV PSA 32:1 · LV PSA 32:1 · Read together PSA 32:1 indicates clearly that the reference of ἀνήρ is not a particular male but any person.

Sense 3: husband

Semantic entry: 10.53

Semantic domains: Kinship Terms

Subdomains: Kinship Relations Based upon Marriage

Definition: a man who is married to a woman

Notes: ἀνήρ in the meaning of ‘husband’ is normally clearly marked by context, usually involving a so- called ‘possessive marker,’ though in some contexts such as RV JHN 4:17 · LV JHN 4:17 · Read together JHN 4:17 and RV MAT 19:10 · LV MAT 19:10 · Read together MAT 19:10, the distinctions in meaning are quite clear, but it is only from each individual context that one can determine whether ἀνήρ means simply ‘man’ (see 9.24: ἀνήρ / 9.24: ἄνθρωπος) or ‘husband.’ See also discussion at 10.54: γυνή.
