Re: Imperative forms and usage

Scott - and others - might find interesting a previous thread on the earlier version of B-Greek. Ward Powers, whose text book Learn to Read the Greek New Testament may be known to some, wrote, In Greek Class last night a question was raised about the tense of the imperative FEUGE in Matthew 2:13 and...

Re: Stephen Carlson

Before too much time passes, I'd also like to express congratulations to you, Stephen, for gaining your PhD. It's something to celebrate, and as one of those who have read with profit the contributions you've made to B-Greek I wish you all the best and applaud your achievement. Now watch out for all...

Re: Exo 6:5 - των υιων ισραηλ ον

Exodus 6:5 καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσήκουσα τὸν στεναγμὸν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ὃν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι καταδουλοῦνται αὐτούς καὶ ἐμνήσθην τῆς διαθήκης ὑμῶν (Exo 6:5 BGT) Ken, You have the advantage of the Hebrew to guide us. Looking at the Greek, which does look a little odd to my eye, I wondered whether it were better to take...

Re: Heb 1.3 ποιησάμενος

There is a range of periphrastic constructions where ποιέω with a noun is used instead of a simple verb; significantly, however, in classical Greek it is the middle form of ποιέω that is used in such constructions. And so it is that Turner says, "The middle was the rule in class. Greek, and in ...

Re: Public domain / freely available lexicons?

Thanks to Devenios and to Ken for their responses - both are helpful to me. Thanks Devenios, I'll have another look at Diogenes; I was able to install the software easily enough but unsure about where to find the data files and how and where to install them on a PC. I'll have another crack at it. Th...

Re: verbal aspect (split from Beginner's Forum)

Mike Aubrey noted my approvingly citing the following quote from Johnson: First of all, Campbell begins his analysis of the perfect by demonstrating that the definitions of McKay, Porter, and Fanning are inadequate. The problem with this analysis is that he has misrepresented the definitions of each...

Re: Public domain / freely available lexicons?

I appreciate the help given by both Jonathan and Devenios. Jonathan, Your letting me know of the download page from Perseus will be very helpful. In the past, I've downloaded some isolated texts in XML format but not known of the download page, which makes things considerably easier. The ML is there...

Re: Public domain / freely available lexicons?

In May last year, Jonathan wrote, What public domain / freely available lexicons are good enough to be worth using, especially in software systems that can't use resources that are not freely available? LSJ, obviously. And that's already available in XML. I'm interested to know whether the XML file ...

Re: John 8:25

I'm joining the discussion late, not because of lack of interest but because time has been short. It may be helpful to note the following discussions of this verse, in addition to those already noticed: What did Jesus mean by τὴν ἀρχήν in John 8:25? Caragounis, Chrys C. ; Novum Testamentum, 2007, vo...
