Matthew 1:20 τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ ηθὲν ἐκ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἁγίου
Matthew 1:20 TO GAR EN AUTH HQEN EK PNEUMATOS ESTIN hAGIOU

My poor American brain wants this to read ἐκ πνεύματός ἁγίου ἐστιν (EK
PNEUMATOS hAGIOU ESTIN), rather than ἐκ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἁγίου (EK
PNEUMATOS ESTIN hAGIOU). Is there any significance to the difference in
word order here? Is there any significance to the verb dividing
πνεύματός ἁγίου (PNEUMATOS hAGIOU)?
