This seems to be mostly nonsense. I recommend the Academy as a great place to go wild with your ideas.1. You’ve replaced ἐπέρχονται with the fantastically incorrect βαίνουσα, a feminine participle, which does not agree with your masculine “τυφών”, and…

Having looked at the Tauchnitz New Testament that MacDonald mentions, I think that one possibility is that he means Matthew 17:21 and Mark 9:29. Matthew 17:21: “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”The apparatus lists S*V as omit…
βαρις and πυργόβαρις are only attested in the Septuagint and JosephusThe biggest difficulty with the word origin is that this isn’t true. The LSJ mentions the two authors in Herodianus, “λέγεται βάρις ἡ οἰκία, ὡς Ποσείδιππος, καὶ ἡ συνοικία ὡς Ἔφορος….
Thanks for that. I need to have more thinking. Would you suggest that it could mean “force” the way some translations render it?I should clarify my argument; I’m not suggesting it is “more accurate” translation. It is prophetic language after all. I…
In Greek, words are transformed depending what they do in a sentence. It’s the same word, πνεῦμα, but it has been transformed into πνεύματι following ἐν.Your links write this πνεύματι as ΠΝΙ with the line above. One of the nomina sacra again.So it was…
There is an instance in Psalm 138:6 in which ἀπὸ μακρόθεν matches the construction of the Hebrew ἀπὸ-μακρό-θεν/מ־מ־רחק. Does-θεν have the same function as -hinc?Psalm 138:6 ab longinquē cognōscit “He knows from a distance” ?Statistics: Posted by Sabo…
Maybe the reason for the passive translation is, that the evil will probably not volontarely get out of the way, but must be removed (by whom-/whatsover).Even mr Bill Mounce has questions regarding this text (https://www.billmounce.com/path/should-be-…
Instead of τυφών the better word might be συστροφή a sudden storm.Job 37:9ἀπὸ Ὑδρᾶς βαίνουσα συστροφή καὶ ἀπὸ Κυνοσούρας ψῦχος”From Hydra comes the storm and from Cynosura the cold”or / ἀπὸ Κυνοσούρας βορέᾱς “From Cynosura the north wind” ?Statistics:…

That particular story is original with Matthew, I suspect, and the usage of δηνάριον in Mark would be sufficient to explain Matthew’s word choices, as Matthew is trying to both retell and imitate Mark. Besides, Matthew is writing late, after the 70 A….

Thanks! I suspected it was a matter of lengthening or contraction but couldn’t find anything about the development of those articles. Did you just remember about τόνς or did you make use of a source that you can share? Again, thanks for this really he…

Isagoge may depend on how much you like Aristotle.The Suda is more of an encyclopedia, if that is what you are looking for. I would be surprised if there is no Latin translation. [EDIT: Ludolph Küster’s version (1705) has a Latin translation]Statistic…

The Greek parallel that comes to mind for me is: “καὶ κατὰ γῆν καὶ κατὰ θάλατταν”. But the double-καί is necessary there.I see that when quoting these verses, many of the Greek writers like to drop the second ἀνὰ μέσον.For example, the non-Semitic Jul…

πνεῦμα ὁ θεός isn’t weird at all, it’s simple, typical Greek. Joel quotes a similar exaple from Isocrates, which more literally could be translated ”chance is common and the future is unseen”. πνεῦμα ὁ θεός ”God is (a) spirit”θεός τὸ πνεῦμα ”(the) spi…
