Steve,
Actually,
(don't you hate replies that start with Actually . . . :-)))))
Actually,
Danker includes under the second definition (abbreviated):
2) one who assists another in following a path, guide, leader...
in imagery (Wsd 7:15; 18:3; Jos. Ant. 1, 217) hODHGOS TUFLWN "a guide for
the blind" Rom. 2:19 . . . blind leaders of the blind Mt 15:14 ... k.t.l.
And Louw & Nida under 36.4 (abbreviated) also cover this:
36.4 hODHGOS one who guides or leads leader, guide.ı . . . you are
sure that you are a guide for the blindı Ro 2:19. In Ro 2:19 the context is
figurative in the sense that the blindı are those who are spiritually
blind, and the guidance which they require is a proper understanding of the
truth in terms of how they should behave.
So both F. Danker and L&N covered the figurative aspect of hODHGOS quite
adequately. At least equal to or beyond that of Friburg/Miller which I don't
not have here to compare.
You are right of course about using more than one lexicon. Thanks for your
comments.
Clay
