Bible Note: That's interesting...so Jesus is starts off with the object of his address being the city itself and changes it to the "children" in the last clause alone (gramatically speaking)? Do the genders match up as well? You said that "Jerusalem" is feminine in the Greek, and I would assume that a collective group of humans ("children") is likely to be masculine (and I know you will correct me if I am wrong). So is the Greek pronoun for "you" in the final clause masculine or feminine (if there is a pronoun at all there)? I will be taking a three-semester equivalent of both Greek and Hebrew this summer D.V., so I look forward to "playing at a new level." :) --Joe! |
