Fellow list members;
I need help on this verse. What are the options for understanding the
word THEMELIOS? Should LITHOS be supplied? What is the force of the
perfect tense in hISTHMI? In the case of the inscription/seal, based on
the comparison with Numbers 16:5(LXX) can the aorist of GINWSKW be
translated in a futuristic sense? i.e. the Lord will recognize,
acknowlege those who are his???? What kind of a genitive? Those who
belong to Him? Are we justified in translating a resultative KAI before
the aorist imperative of APHISTHMI? Sorry to ask so many questions but
in this verse eveything seems to be related like a row of dominoes.
