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…
Thank you both for this thread, which was an eye-opener for me, too, for those exact reasons that @thestuffedowl explains. An accusative as the subject of a verb? Well, well. Whatever next!Statistics: Posted by BrianB — Tue Jul 16, 2024 4:58 pm
Acts 7:7 has indeed δουλευσουσιν in NA28, but the ECM Acts has δουλευσωσιν (ECM III , 1:1 page 194).The text of Acts ECM will probably appear in the next na29.Statistics: Posted by Jean Putmans — Tue Oct 01, 2024 6:53 am
Ah, I missed that in verse 2, thanks. But again the ἢ may have been included there to signal a comparison between the two behaviors described in verses 1 and 2. The reason I’m bringing this up is because I just finished reading Chapter 32 Comparison o…
I disagree. πρός has many uses besides making an adverb. I gave the most neutral and least question-begging one. I’m well aware that “God’s jealousy is in fact a frequent topic in scripture”—less so in the NT than in the Septuagint, however, and not i…
If of help, the DGE (supplementing LSJ) gives the following:1. s.v. 1 βᾶριςbarca egipcia, A.l.c., Hdt.2.41bis, 96, περιάγειν ἐν βάρισι περὶ τὸ Δέλτα Hdt.2.179, cf. PHib.100.13, PCair.Zen.l.c. (ambos III a.C.), de las barcas de los muertos y de Osiris,…
Students of the New Testament have always been very well served. BAGD, a lexicon rather than a concordance, is good for any serious work. The abridged version (Gingrich-Danker) is handy and very serviceable: it conveniently sorts the NT refs, but (unl…
I thought that this might just be something to do with the poetry here, and looked at how ἀλλ’ ἤ gets used elsewhere. A quick scan through Genesis and the early books of the LXX shows it mostly being used in the “standard” way, to mean “unless” or “ex…

ὅτι εἰ ἐν ὑγρῷ ξύλῳ ταῦτα ποιοῦσιν, ἐν τῷ ξηρῷ τί γένηται;This seemed so strange and unique to me. And there’s no example in the LSJ article for ἐν that is exactly similar*. Blass gives however, in 157.f2: “An jmdm etwas tun” heisst auch ποιεῖν τι ἔν …

Pretty sure ὑμῶν ὁ from Matt 6:26 could fit in line 13 on the recto before οὐράνιος, so will be interesting to see if the latest Oxyrhynchus volume restores the lacunae.I now have a copy.In the notes they say that the letter before οὐράνιος cannot be …
@mwhthanks for the attested απο πρωιθεν. I am surprised that the English translation (https://philipharland.com/greco-roman-a … -ii-i-bce/ ) of that instance has “previously” instead of “from the morning”.Indeed, the christian texts might very well …
In the LXX/Septuaginta one finds (examples just for Genesis and Exodus) a: [ανα μεσον + Gen.Sg.] (Ex. 26:10) b: [ανα μεσον + Gen.Pl.] ; (Ex. 22:10; 25:22; 26:28; 28:33; 36:32;Gen. 15:17; 31:37; 31:53; 42:23; 49:14c: [ανα μεσον + Gen. + Gen.] (Ex. 11:7…

I take it that he’s deploring φθόνος among his addressees. This fits with his inveighing against their internal dissensions (4.1 πόθεν πόλεμοι και πόθεν μάχαι εν ὑμιν; etc., 2 ζηλοῦτε etc., cf. 3.14 ει δε ζῆλον …) and with the rest of the letter. ζῆ…

A quick search suggests a change in vocabulary over time rather than any difference in nuance. ἐπίστασθαι is less common (~ 50 hits) and seldom occurs after the Ptolemaic era.μὴ εἰδέναι γράμματα occurs 343 times in published documents but only very ra…
τῆς Μήδων πόλεωςΜήδων is genitive plural, “city of the Medes.” Not “Mede-city.”But why πόλεως and πόλει in the same line?cf. Herodotus 1.128 ἐν τῷ ἄστεϊ τῶν Μήδων. 2 Kings 17:6 ἐν Αλαε καὶ ἐν Αβωρ ποταμοῖς Γωζαν καὶ Ορη Μήδων in Habor iuxta fluvium Go…
