SIBI-P1 G4198-05
he journeyed himself forth
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed past), passive form with middle/deponent meaning; indicative mood; 3rd person singular. The passive morphology carries an active-middle sense due to the deponent nature of the lemma. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb πορεύομαι fundamentally denotes setting out on a journey or proceeding along a path. The form ἐπορεύθη is aorist indicative, 3rd person singular, expressed in passive form but functioning with middle (deponent) sense; "journeyed himself forth" preserves the self-involving nuance of the middle voice while reflecting the simple past (aorist) action. |
