Please ignore my previous post. Apparently I had not consumed sufficient
quantities of coffee before responding.

                Ed, it appears to me to be a Dative of Advantage where the
noun benefits or
                suffers from the action. In English this would often be
translated "on
                behalf of" or simply "for". Rev 21:2 may be of similar
formation "adorned
                for the sake of her husband."

                                Some friends and I are reading the book of
Galatians. But we
                are puzzled as
                                to the function of UMAS in 4:11. It is an
accusative but we
                are not sure how
                                to translate it. What use of the accusative
is this? Any
                guidance that
                                anyone can offer would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
