ABRAAM hO PATHR hHMWN OUK EX ERGWN EDIKAIWQH
ANENEGKAS ISAAK
My question concerns EDIKAIWQH ANENEGKAS.
If the participle ANENEGKAS is Means, then Abraham outwardly exhibited
(demonstrated) his faith by this overt act (work). I seem to recall hearing
once that the idea of EDIKAIWQH, as it is used here, denotes the
demonstration of ones righteousness.
This question that expects an affirmative answer then would read something
like:
Did not Abraham, our father, have his righteousness demonstrated by means
of offering
Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father seen by his offering..
Can EDIKAIWQH be understood in this sense?
Thank you,
Mark Wilson
