Re: Meta Language

Why should I not be interested in this. I was asking this question long before you were on the forum. What benefit does a student who wants to read Koine attain from becoming an expert in grammatical tagging? If your objective is to talk about secondary exegetical literature then then there is plen...

Re: Rev 12:11 and 13:14 - δια + acc as instrumental

Can you clarify on that? Idiomatic perhaps, but truly private? You need to familiarize yourself with secondary literature on the language of the Apocalypse. I don't have a bibliography on hand. It has been argued that the idioms of Apocalypse form a coherent system but it isn't a system found anywh...

Re: Rev 12:11 and 13:14 - δια + acc as instrumental

Which doesn’t answer my question in the original post :D Namely whether this usage in 12:11 and 13:14 is found in other texts in Koine / classical. And to be fair, with regards to the meta language - surely it is important to understand in what sense BDF / BDAG are using their terminology? Your loo...

It isn't a metaphor. You can forget about that. You need to provide the content from your author if you want any meaningful refutation.

Re: Rev 12:11 and 13:14 - δια + acc as instrumental

Hey Stirling, I am not sure that that deals with the question. I would assume that Winters would also argue this verse is the same as 6:9, 12:11 and 13:14 The question is whether efficient cause / instrumental (I am not sure of the difference) would apply here indicating that the martyrs are slain ...

Re: Rev 12:11 and 13:14 - δια + acc as instrumental

The place to look for idioms in the Apocalypse is in the Apocalypse. Rev. 20:4 Καὶ εἶδον θρόνους καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς καὶ κρίμα ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν πεπελεκισμένων διὰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ καὶ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ οἵτινες οὐ προσεκύνησαν τὸ θηρίον οὐδὲ τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔλα...

Tyndale translated it "the which" perhaps following Wycliffe. The Ancient Greek Article needs to be understood independent of translation. Translation isn't a path to understanding.
