SIBI-P1 G4017-02
having looked-all-around for himself (nominative masculine singular)
| Root | περιβλέπω (periblepō) |
| Core Meanings | to look around, to survey, to look about on all sides, to observe comprehensively |
| Semantic Range | to look around physically, to survey a scene, to examine those present, to observe carefully before speaking or acting |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of Yeshua surveying those around Him, the term highlights intentional, discerning observation. It can convey thoughtful assessment, moral evaluation, or deliberate awareness before responding or acting. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist middle participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,Aorist Middle Participle,NMS). The aorist denotes a completed action; the middle voice conveys self-involvement; the participle functions adjectivally or adverbially with a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of περί (around) + βλέπω (to look), expressing a comprehensive, circular glance. The aorist participle conveys a completed act of looking, while the middle voice is reflected with "for himself," indicating personal involvement or self-directed interest. The nominative masculine singular form aligns with a male subject performing this action. |
