Dear all,
Is there a way to tell when a dative form of X is used with the meaning "for
X"? I have always taken it to be "to X" by default when used as an adverb of
a verb unless the verb does not allow "to X". Does the meaning of such a
dative depend on the verb alone? An example would be Acts 7:46-49: "... and
requested to find [a] tabernacle for the God of Jacob, but Solomon builded
for him [a] house ... the heaven [is] [a] throne for me ... what house will
you build for me?"
