John:
Actually it is the aorist active infinitive of SPANIZW which when used of things means, " to be rare, scarce, scanty" and when used of people means "to lack or be in want of something" It is used in 2 Kings 14:26; Job 14:11; Judith 11:12
I hope this helps,
Kevin

Subject: [B-Greek] SPANISAI
In Daniel 9:24 Old Greek, this word appears. KAI TAS ADIKIAS SPANISAI
I understand that it could be translated "And to make iniquities rare"
or "scarce." But to focus on SPANISAI alone, would it literally be "to
make rare"? It is Verb: Aorist Passive Infinitive of SUNTELEW.
Thank you!
