This is a question for the Classics people.
What do you think of the use of hOUTWS in:
OTI QEOS ZWN EPOIHSEN AUTA OUTWS
or
APO ENIAUTOU EIS ENIAUTON GINOMENA PANTA OUTWS
Two things caught my eye about hOUTWS in this text. The clause final
position and being used as second object of EPOIHSEN and GINOMENA. This
expression sounded a lot like the first chapter of Genesis (Gen 1:6 LXX).
This use of hOUTWS is well attested in both the LXX and the NT.
My question:
Would we find this in Greek texts which had no connection with Semitic
language and culture? BDF(#434) and N. Turner (Syntax p226) say it isn't
"good" classical. My question is do we find this use of hOUTWS it in
classical authors at all?
greetings,
Clay
