ἡλίου, (eliou) in Revelation 22:5: Noun Genitive Singular Masculine

Noun: this word names a created object or source of light, and here it functions as a concrete noun in the clause.

Genitive: this form often marks relationship, source, or association, and here it belongs in a genitive chain after the nouns for lamp and light.

Singular: the form is grammatically singular in this occurrence, presenting one sun as the referent in view.

Masculine: the noun belongs to the masculine grammatical class, which is a language feature and not a theological claim about sex or personhood.

φωτὸς ἡλίου

It is governed by the surrounding genitive phrase and stands with φωτὸς after χρείαν οὐκ ἔχουσι, giving the sense of needing neither lamp light nor sun light.

It contributes to the list of things not needed in the scene, specifying the natural source of light that is no longer required because God illuminates them.

It does not by itself state action, agency, or theology about the sun; it simply participates in the phrase that names a kind of light.

High: The genitive noun helps name the ordinary light source that is no longer needed because the Lord God gives light.

Genitive singular noun naming the source of light. specifies sunlight as one ordinary light source no longer required. Attached to the light phrase in Revelation 22:5. Governed by the negated need statement about lamp light and sun light. The form participates in the list of unneeded lights; the verse gives the reason in God's illumination.

What kind of light is no longer needed? The genitive specifies sunlight as one of the ordinary light sources no longer needed.

Direct: The genitive directly supports wording such as "light of the sun" or "sunlight."

The genitive names relation to the sun, but the theological point comes from the statement that God gives light. The masculine grammatical form belongs to the noun class and is not a personhood claim about the sun.

Genitive light phrase proves hidden sun symbolism: The form names sunlight in the negated need statement; symbolism must be argued from the vision, not the case ending alone. grammar alone says created light is evil: The verse says created light is unnecessary in that scene because God illuminates, not that created light is evil.

The witness reads ἡλίου in Revelation 22:5, within the phrase λύχνου καὶ φωτὸς ἡλίου, and the context says there will be no night and no need of these lights.

The lemma ἥλιος means the sun or sunlight, so the form points to that familiar natural source of light without changing the lemma's identity.

The genitive form fits a phrase of provision or relation after χρείαν οὐκ ἔχουσι, so the verse speaks of what is not needed in that setting.

The line says that created light sources are unnecessary because the Lord God gives illumination directly.

This fits the chapter's larger picture of the New Jerusalem, where divine presence replaces ordinary sources of night and light.

For readers, the grammar helps the sentence sound concrete and cumulative: lamp light and sun light are both included in the things no longer needed.

Do not derive a hidden symbolism, a doctrinal category from masculine gender, or a claim that the form alone determines the whole meaning.
