SIBI-P1 G1291-03
he was distinctly-enjoining for himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing action), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive), indicative mood (statement of fact), 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines διά (through/apart) and στέλλω (to set, arrange, send), yielding the sense of setting something distinctly apart, hence giving explicit or strict instructions. The imperfect tense is reflected by "was ... -ing," indicating ongoing past action, and the middle voice is conveyed by "for himself," preserving the reflexive/self-involving force of the form. |
