I was reading in Galatians this morning and came across Gal 2:10:
MONON TWN PTWCHWN hINA MNHMONEUWMEN
TWN PTWCHWN is here functioning as the direct object of the verb
MNHMONEUWMEN, but it actually precedes the hINA. My first impression is
that it is outside the boundary of the hINA clause. Do you know of other
examples where a semantic component of a hINA or hOTI clause precedes
the hINA or hOTI? What implications does this have for meaning, if any?
Is it simply a way of emphasizing the "misplaced" words?
