As I’m working on my exegesis for Philippians this month, I have noticed
several times Zerwick refers to the Dative of Respect replacing the
Accusative of Respect. For example, in Philippians 3:5 we have one of
these…
“PERITOMH OKTAHMEROS, EK GENOUS ISRAEL, FULHS BENIAMIN,….
My questions are: Does the use of dative of respect in place of accusative
of respect come from Hebraic influence, or was it the general thrust of 1st
Century common Greek? Also, what is the exact significance of this
subtlety? In other words, why does Zerwick bring it to our attention?
Thank you!
