Re: "Good Greek" in the Septuagint

The LXX is translation Greek. Randall, So you would agree with J. W. Wevers, Exodus would seem strange at several levels, syntax, discourse, to someone who had no previous contact with biblical greek or works by multilingual authors who had Hebrew roots. A little off topic, how would one rank the T...

Re: "Good Greek" in the Septuagint

[And the statement the "Exodus is natural, too" baffles me. It is translation Greek, even if different from the translator of Judges. John W. Wevers[1]: " The most obvious characteristic of Exod [LXX] is that it is a translation document. " [1] Notes on the Greek Text of Exodus ...

Re: genitive between prep & case

Is there anything more to this pattern than meets the eye? It seems like it can be described compositionally: PP = prep + NP; NP = gen + N | etc. There really isn't anything that can't be explained here by the sum of the parts, is there? Perhaps there's some matter of pragmatics involved in the fro...

Re: genitive between prep & case

Are you just wondering how common this is? Or is there some other question that you have about it? Yes, that's what I thought too, when I first saw this. It's not really that unusual and it is intelligible. Carl, I didn't think it was rare, just wondered why none of the NT grammars discussed it. I ...

Re: genitive between prep & case

What do you mean by "between prep and case "? Between a preposition and its governed object? Wouldn't we get really problems with prepositions like ἐκ and ἀπό which govern the genitive? Stephen, Yes, prepositions like ἐκ and ἀπό require special treatment. What I am talking about is ἐν pre...

Re: genitive between prep & case

Could not find any discussion in the NT grammars. Matt. 13:33 Ἄλλην παραβολὴν ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς· ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ ἐνέκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὅλον. Luke 13:21 ὁμοία ἐστὶν ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ [ἐν]έκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ...

genitive between prep & case

2Pet. 2:16 ἔλεγξιν δὲ ἔσχεν ἰδίας παρανομίας· ὑποζύγιον ἄφωνον ἐν ἀνθρώπου φωνῇ φθεγξάμενον ἐκώλυσεν τὴν τοῦ προφήτου παραφρονίαν.

Re: Porter - Idioms of the Greek NT

That is to say, the reasons for the mixed reviews haven't changed. Porter's ideas about tense are still viewed as problematic by many. If anything, I think the consensus against Porter's tenseless proposals has only grown. Porter's 2nd Ed 1992 Idioms is a traditional grammar with some not-too-popul...

Re: 1 Cor 6:1

I lean toward the "adjectival" function of the participle at the fore here in 1 cor 6:1, modifying τις. I argue Paul is describing what kind of individual he is about to condemn!!! Thoughts? I suggest you go with the valuable insights offered by R. Buth and also the citations you quoted f...
