Articular infinitiveThe αὐτόν is the subject of the infinitive and the genitive its objectStatistics: Posted by jeidsath — Fri Jan 31, 2025 5:36 pm
IMHO, I don’t think there is need to read anything more into the word here than that a causation, that is “to cause to happen.” Perhaps, & probably, to actively & proactively cause something to happen. the following came to my remembrance:ὅσ…
The physical coins themselves would seem to be their own witness, imo. And the NT is witness to the usage when it was written, slightly later than Jesus’ lifetime.But if only a papyrus will do, this is dated to “29 – 2 BC?”, for whatever the dating is…
Hi all, just to zoom out to the broader context (and in passing I note that I agree with Michael that, when you read the whole sentence, τὸ πνεῦμα must be the object, especially given κατῴκισεν in the relative clause for which the subject must be God)…
I had a very similar thought to mwh about its unintelligibility, and was casually trying to figure it out during the sermon at church this morning, having looked up the context on TLG just before. There appears to be a divine voice of some kind talkin…

The Septuagint puts ἐάν/ἄν after ὅς (and other relatives) with extreme frequency to mean whoever/whatever/etc. Attic doesn’t do this.The first example smack at the beginning of Genesis:καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὰ πρὸς τὸν Αδαμ ἰδεῖν, τί καλέσει αὐτά, καὶ πᾶν, ὃ ἐ…
It makes more sense in the context of the sheep being cared for by a shepherd. The shepherd has pastured and raised me in a grassy place by calm waters. This mental context explains why the LXX translator thought to use ἐξέθρεψε for a Hebrew word mean…
In Revelation 13:15 English (LSB) – And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.Greek – καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ δοῦναι…
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….
εἰς τόπον χλόης, ἐκεῖ με κατεσκήνωσεν, ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀναπαύσεως ἐξέθρεψέ με- 22.2Here I’d like to know what sense you would say that ἐπὶ ὕδατος is used. Locative? Instrumental?Statistics: Posted by CMatthiasT88 — Tue Feb 04, 2025 6:03 pm

I think νῶτον acc. of respect to the enemies. “You’ve delivered my enemies to me in their rear and you have destroyed the ones hating me.”Statistics: Posted by jeidsath — Sat Feb 01, 2025 5:32 pm
It’s a prepositional phrase. τῷ κατακυριεῦσαι is an articular infinitive, and αυτον is the subject of the infinitive. So: “when (εν τω temporal) he (αυτον) gets dominion over the poor (κατακυριεῦσαι τῶν πενήτων).” All clear now?Statistics: Posted by m…
Plate #1 of the sayings collection can be seen here. I’ll try to put up a bad transcription of the Greek from this first image at some point. I would have liked to have been able to order Oxyrhynchus Papyri vol. LXXXVII and have seen the whole thing, …

Yeah, I had a post written up about the earlier πεπηγμένος, but happily Chad’s post covered it first.I can get closer to the spelling, if you’d like.So αναγκη βιαια – irresistible necessity – would be great, but you would have to imagine a dropped ver…
