Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???

But, then, if that's the case, I still have absolutely no idea why your Exodus example is at all relevant since it appears in a context that is clearly iterative. Conversely, these examples that appear in the middle of direct speech are not clearly iterative or continuous. Steve (and Levinsohn) are...

Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???

The confusion arises by your words "a perfect use of the imperfect," which can be read as "a non-continuous use of the imperfect" or as "an ideal use of the imperfect." Considering that Wallace is claiming precisely that the examples from Mark are non-continuous uses of...

Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???

I just came across one example when reading the LXX: [Exo 5] [6] συνεταξεν δε φαραω τοις εργοδιωκταις του λαου και τοις γραμματευσιν λεγων [7] ουκετι προστεθησεται διδοναι αχυρον τω λαω εις την πλινθουργιαν καθαπερ εχθες και τριτην ημεραν αυτοι πορευεσθωσαν και συναγαγετωσαν εαυτοις αχυρα [8] και τ...

Re: Grammars of Modern Greek

I have the first edition of Holton et al.'s grammar. It's quite good. I disagree with their analysis on some points, but its a very useful reference work.

Re: Metaphorical Extensions of ἐγγύς

I thought about that, Scott, the problem is that I don't really know what that means...particularly in this context. What does it mean for him to say that Paul is coming close to the actual deed? And why should his audience be impressed (or surprised?) by how close Paul gets to it? And what does tha...

Re: Is this GNT from the Antioch site compatible with CC-BY-

I can't speak for that particular text, but I would suggest that the SBL Greek New Testament is the best modern text with a flexible usage license that you're going to be able to find without simply hiring a group of text critics to make your own.
