Zerwick & Grosvenor comment:
" AFHKAMEN ...... prsupposing forgiveness on man's part, unless it
represents a Semitic perfect, which in certain circumstances may
have present sense"
There follows a cross-reference to s. 260 of Zerwick's "Biblical Greek"
This paragraph is actually considering the Magnificat in Luke, where he
comments " we have the remarkable aorist (HGGELIASEN ) in obvious
paralellism with the present ( MEGALUNEI ) This has been explained as a
servile version of a Hebrew inverted future (wayyiktol ) which, though it
commonly refers to the past, can itself take a present value after a
participle with that value "
