Is there any reason why I shouldn't translate EN AUTHi THi hWRAi as
"At that moment", or even "At that very moment"? A quick look through other
Gospel uses of the word hWRA makes me suspect that expressions of the kind
EN EKEINHi hWRAi and AUTHi THi hWRAi (esp. Luke 2:38) indicate a single
moment of time, and not just "In that same hour" or "Around that time". In
Luke 10:21, am I overinterpreting the force of EN AUTHi THi hWRAi when I
suspect that the author wants us to form the impression that Jesus is in
the process of uttering the previous statements (vv. 18-20) when he is
struck by the wisdom of God and begins to rejoice in the Holy Spirit (v.
21)?
