he tasted for himself
| Root | γεύομαι (geuomai) |
| Core Meanings | to taste, to partake, to eat, to experience |
| Semantic Range | to taste food, to partake of a meal, to sample; figuratively to experience something (good or bad), to come to know by personal involvement |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, γεύομαι often conveys more than physical tasting; it denotes personal participation or experiential knowledge (e.g., tasting death or the heavenly gift). The middle voice underscores direct, personal engagement with what is tasted or experienced. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past, completed action), middle voice (subject participates in or benefits from the action), indicative mood (statement of fact), third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb γεύομαι means "to taste" or "to experience," often implying personal participation. The form ἐγεύσατο is aorist middle indicative, third person singular, which is reflected by the simple past "tasted" (aorist, completed action) and the reflexive nuance "for himself" (middle voice), indicating personal involvement in the action. |
