Dear list,

For want of a better expression, I labelled this thread curiosa, though 
I am not looking for the really absurd here. What I am looking for are 
passages that happen to illustrate a specific grammatical phenomenon 
quite dramatically. Here are two examples, I hope the collective wisdom 
of the list can come up with many others.

My favourite verse to illustrate the three grammatical genders is 
Ephesians 4:5 
EIS SWMA, MIA PISTIS, EN BAPTISMA, nicely summing up all three forms of 
EIS in one verse.

Another one is 1 Chron 11:2:
KAI EIPEN KURIOS O QEOS SOU SOI SU POIMANEIS TON LAON MOU TON ISRAHL, 
with three cases of SU in a row.

I am sure there are many others in the NT and LXX .Feel free to share them.

Cheers,
Dirk Jongkind
