Re: Hebrews 9:24 ἐμφανισθῆναι
The Hbrew Bible different forms of ראה for see, show or appear. I was probably reading too much into it when I remembered that the Niphal, passive, would be translated "appear." Sincerely, Michael Abernathy When I was a student of biblical Hebrew (between Fall 2000 and Spring 2002), I rem...

20 τὰ γὰρ ἀόρατα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ κτίσεως κόσμου τοῖς ποιήμασιν νοούμενα καθορᾶται , ἥ τε ἀΐδιος αὐτοῦ δύναμις καὶ θειότης, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀναπολογήτους, I was asking whether Paul was saying to the Romans 1. that the things of God hidden since the foundation of the world are being now clearly seen th...

Re: Adjectival Use of Prepositional Phrases
OK, Jason. Wasn't that David Lim's hypothesis that the prepositional phrase (PP) in all a-N-PP orders is always adverbial? I thought that this proposal quickly became unfalsifiable when profferred counterexamples were claimed to be adverbial in the sense that it was modifying some verbal notion wit...

Re: Adjectival Use of Prepositional Phrases
Stephen, It is just that previously in this thread it was stated that prepositional phrases do not normally modify nouns when they are not marked with articles - that they are always adverbial and must be understood to modify verbs. We were looking for clear examples of prepositional phrases that mo...

Re: Adjectival Use of Prepositional Phrases
To bring this back up, a friend sent me a few verses that might be set here for your consideration: 1 Peter 1:3 Εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος ἀναγεννήσας ἡμᾶς εἰς ἐλπίδα ζῶσαν δι᾽ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐκ νεκρῶν , Should we not consider ἐκ νε...

Re: Pleonastic
If we gave a Hebrew equivalent, we could use the word רק ( rak = "only") to mean that we exclude other things. הִיא נָֽתְנָה לָהֶם רַק חָלָב "She gave them only milk." This is fine in and of itself, but it is also possible to use אך ורק ( ach ve-rak = "but and only") to...

I've changed the subject of the thread to reflect ὅσα instead of whatever was written there. I hope this is OK with the rest of you. - Jason

Re: Eph 2:4 ἠγάπησεν
I'll have to take your word for it. The fact that you did indeed translate all the "redundancies" intact suggest you're still not there. The day you stop translating entirely...that'll be the day I'm convinced. I'm impressed with your determination and tenacity as well as how much you've ...
