In this fascinating verse (Ezek 37.9), the following appears:
TADE LEGEI KUPIOS
I wonder if someone could enlighten me on the meaning of the TADE.
The verse in full reads
KAI EIPEN PROS ME PROFHTEUSON )UIE ANQRWPOU PROFHTUESON EPI TO PNEUMA KAI EIPON TWi PNEUMATI TADE LEGIE KUPIOS EK TWN TESSARWN PNEUMATWN ELQE KAI EMFUSHSON EIS TOUS NEKROUS TOUTOUS KAI ZHSATWSAN
Further, I wonder if the list would agree that PNEUMA is best translated "wind" in this case. The NRSV uses "the breath", but I wonder if that is pushing this use a little too far, since it/they are called out of the TESSARWN.
Joe Friberg has already talked about the second, perhaps more important question. I want to say something about the very common but very important idiom in TADE LEGEI KURIOS: (a) this is, of course, the LXX equivalent of the prophetic formula introducing an oracle (something like KOH AMARA YHWH, although I can't really trust my memory for the little Hebrew I know); (b) in terms of traditional Greek, TODE and TADE generally point forward to what is about to be said, while TOUTO and TAUTA (especially TAUTA) tend generally to point backward to what has just been said (I'm aware that TOUTO often points forward, but TAUTA almost always points backward). Therefore, the idiomatic force of TADE LEGEI KURIOS is "The Lord says as follows: ..."
