SIBI-P1 G2753-03
he was giving-command
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. The form describes a continuous or repeated act of commanding in past time. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb κελεύω carries the sense of urging or commanding by spoken word. The imperfect active indicative (3rd person singular) expresses an ongoing or repeated action in past time, so "he was giving-command" reflects both the verbal root idea of issuing a command and the continuous past aspect of the imperfect tense. |
