SIBI-P1 G2658-07
they were arriving-at (coming down to meet)
| Root | καταντάω (katantaō) |
| Core Meanings | arrive at, come down to meet, attain, reach, encounter at a point |
| Semantic Range | to arrive at a destination, to reach a point (literal travel), to attain a goal or state (figurative), to come into encounter with, to reach maturity or fulfillment |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used for both physical arrival and spiritual attainment, the term can describe movement toward divinely appointed fulfillment—whether reaching a place, a stage of maturity, or the realization of God’s purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, imperfect active indicative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IAA3,,P,). Indicates continuous or repeated action in past time, performed actively by multiple subjects. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of κατά (down) + ἀντάω (to meet), conveying movement toward and arrival at a point of encounter. The imperfect active indicative, third person plural, is reflected by "they were arriving-at," expressing ongoing or progressive past action performed by them. |
