ΕΑΝ μὴ Κύριος οἰκοδομήσῃ οἶκον, εἰς μάτην ἐκοπίασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες· ἐὰν μὴ Κύριος φυλάξῃ πόλιν, εἰς μάτην ἠγρύπνησεν ὁ φυλάσσων. -Ps. 126.2 LXX
Except the Lord build the house, they that build labour in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain.- Brenton
Here I’m wondering if these two sentences (ΕΑΝ…οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, and ΕΑΝ…ὁ φυλάσσων) are present-general-conditionals.
