Hi Jim
Is "puppy" really a fair translation for KUWN?
Speaking as a dog-soup fan I don't consider
KUWN unclean myself but I think Matthew
would have done..
I prompted postings on this verse in April.
Robertson and Jeremias go for a chiasm
BDF seems against. In fact BDF seems
to be a bit against anything as Jewish as
a (gasp) "Hebraism". I can't help wondering
if this reflects Blass' time and place. That may
be grossly unfair.
Also can't help wondering whether Aesop
408H (of a swine) TOIS ODOUSIN ANARRHXEIN
THN KUNA (quoted in BAGD against the chiasm)
is as hard proof as it seems. Isn't Aesop full of word
games?
There's also Nils Lund's (old) book on the subject:

''Man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath for man.''
That's inverted parallelism or ''chiastic structure,'' and since the
1942 publication of this landmark study, you can hardly read
a commentary without finding a reference to it. Lund's work
shows how Jewish speech and thought patterns influenced
New Testament writers, challenging the assumption that they
wrote without literary training or intention. 464 pages, softcover
from Hendrickson.
