Does anyone have any insight into whether the use of the second person suggests intimacy between the speaker and those he addresses as "you," particularly if there are references made to the "you" about "those" others who might also be present? Is there, for example, any way to track the grammatical occurrences/listing of words like HUMIN being given statements regarding TINES or OITINES within three to five verses after the occurence of the second person?
This occurred to me as I was reading in the first 9 chapters of Isaiah, in the LXX where there might be indicators that sometimes Isaiah is addressing his disciples regarding the historical situation present. Of course the same thing could easily exist in the New Testament writings. I am just wondering if this could be documented in some computer tracking (i.e. without a great deal of trouble) to find the listings.
HUMIN . . . . TIVES
HUMIN . . . . OITEVES
HUMIN . . . . -VTAI
HUMIN . . . . -WSIV
Thanks!
