Better grasping τε and καὶ
Posted: October 7th, 2016, 8:18 am
I am getting to the point where my basic understanding of these words seems to need expanding. I know that (as defined by Wallace and others) that "τε ... καὶ" can be a "both x and y" construct, but it seems also "καὶ ... καὶ" can be as well, (i.e. Mark 9:22 καὶ πολλάκις καὶ εἰς πῦρ αὐτὸν ἔβαλεν καὶ εἰς ὕδατα).
However (using Heb 6:2 for the sake of example), It seems I have a lot to learn, why is there a τε here?
I tried reading Wallace (beyond the basics) on the matter, but it wasn't of much use. Can someone please steer me in the right direction? Thanks!

And when I first read the next part (ἀναστάσεώς °τε νεκρῶν καὶ κρίματος αἰωνίου), i saw it by default as the "both x and y" constract, i.e. both of ressurection of the dead and of resurrection of eternal judgement. But all bible translations dont see a "both" construct.διδαχῆς ἐπιθέσεώς τε χειρῶν,
