προφητῶν, (propheton) in Revelation 22:9: Noun Genitive Plural Masculine

Noun: the word names a person or class of persons, here those identified as prophets in the verse.

Genitive: the form usually marks a relationship, and here it links prophets to the larger phrase rather than standing as the main assertion.

Plural: the form refers to more than one prophet or to the prophet group as a whole in this context.

Masculine: the noun is in the masculine grammatical class, which by itself does not create a gendered theological claim.

τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου

The genitive form is part of the chain of genitives that describe belonging or association within the phrase. It sits with the article and noun to identify a subset of the brothers.

It functions as a descriptive relationship term, identifying which brothers are in view, namely the prophets associated with the addressed person.

It does not act as the main verb, and it does not by itself define the whole clause or introduce a separate action.

High: The genitive plural identifies the prophets among the fellow servants in the angelic correction.

Genitive appositional descriptor. identifies which brothers are included in the fellow-servant group. Attached to your brothers, the prophets. Governed by the genitive chain in Revelation 22:9. The phrase functions relationally and appositionally; it should not be made into a separate clause.

Which brothers are included in the angel's fellow-servant statement? The prophets are included among the fellow servants named in the correction.

Direct: The genitive phrase directly supports a rendering such as 'your brothers the prophets.'

The genitive chain can mark belonging, association, or apposition; the list structure controls the sense. The grammar names a group in the correction and does not by itself define prophetic office.

Genitive always means possession: The phrase is better explained as relational or appositional in context, not strict possession. masculine plural excludes all others by itself: Masculine plural is the grammatical form here; the verse context identifies the group.

The witness reads προφητῶν in Revelation 22:9 within the phrase τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου τῶν προφητῶν.

The lemma is προφήτης, which normally refers to a prophet, an inspired speaker, or one who speaks forth the divine will.

The genitive plural works with the surrounding articles and nouns to identify a group related to the addressee. The form supports a relational reading, but the context supplies the specific sense.

The speaker identifies himself as a fellow servant and as sharing fellowship with the addressee's brothers, here marked out as prophets, alongside those who keep the words of this book.

This fits the broader biblical pattern where prophets are recognized as a distinct people associated with divine speech and witness, but the verse itself focuses on shared service and worship directed to God.

In communication, the form clarifies that the phrase narrows the brothers to a prophetic group, making the address more specific and relational.

Do not derive a new identity for the word from the ending alone, and do not make grammatical gender into a claim about human gender or theology.
