I haven't been able to find a commentator who has elucidated this for
me, so maybe someone on the list can. I'm trying to figure out how, in
Luke 1:57,
TH DE ELISABET PLHSQH (O CRONOS TOU TEKEIN AUTHN
to construe AUTHN. It looks like it should go with TOU TEKEIN as the
accusative subject of the infinitive, but that yields a sense like
And the time was fulfilled for Elizateh she gave birth and gave birth to a
son. Since TEKEIN, and GENNAW in the following clause both mean roughly
the same think I think, it might make more sense to construe AUTHS with
CRONOS,
And for Elizabeth, her time was fulfilled to give birth, and she gave
birth to a son.
Anytone have suggestions on the syntactical relations here? Please
respond to me directly as I am not a list member. Thanks.
Grace and Peace,
