An opening associated with a needle · dominant
In Luke 18:25, the genitive singular neuter form occurs in the phrase concerning a camel entering through an opening belonging to a needle. The APB renders the clause “through the hole of a needle,” within the comparison of entry into the kingdom of God.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 18:25, the APB presents the phrase as “through the hole of a needle.” This identifies the clause’s presentation rather than a precise one-to-one rendering.
