I was trying to take this another direction.
What I think I was more after was justification
for why IN THIS INSTANCE did they abandon ordinary
grammar? (The LXX generally follows Greek grammar.)
Furthermore, does not Greek have the ability to
communicate the concept "become" here? If they
understood the idea to mean "become", then is
EIS QEON the way to communicate that to a Greek?
