Ed, it appears to me to be a Dative of Advantage where the noun benefits or
suffers from the action. In English this would often be translated "on
behalf of" or simply "for". Rev 21:2 may be of similar formation "adorned
for the sake of her husband."

Subject: [b-greek] Gal. 4:11
Some friends and I are reading the book of Galatians. But we
are puzzled as
to the function of UMAS in 4:11. It is an accusative but we
are not sure how
to translate it. What use of the accusative is this? Any
guidance that
anyone can offer would be most appreciated. Thank you.
