Dear Doug,
>but what does kuyper mean by:
>
>"In regard to the first point, we refer not to a Hellenistic

>Greek syntax, and which every exegete ought to know."
>
>what is this "ordinary rule" that is found in every good Greek
>syntax and every exegete ought to know? he sounds very dogmatic, but
>i am not even aware of what rule he is citing (for he doesn't really
>reference it by name). any help here?
HH: He gives the "rule" in the material you quoted:
A neutral demonstrative pronoun is frequently used to refer to a
preceding masculine or feminine noun, when the meaning expressed by
this word is taken in a general sense, etc.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
