https://www.ancientgreekkeyboard.com/grammar-practice/present-middle-imperative-verb-endings.html

- Present middle imperative verb test :

The « present tense » of Present Middle Imperatives refers not to time but to the aspect of the orders. In short, present Middle Imperatives are commands that are expected to be followed not once, but as an ongoing process.

For example, a doctor might tell a patient, « Eat less fatty food ! » In this exhortation, the doctor is issuing an order which should always be folloed. (ie : it is not an order that is to be folloed one time and then forgotten about.)

- So this tense is to give an order !

- Thus refuse (to enroll) younger widows !

EXODUS 3:15

YAH.WEH THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS – THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB – HAS SENT ME TO YOU.
THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS HOW I AM TO BE REMEMBERED IN EVERY GENERATION IN EVERY GENERATION.

__________________________________________________________________________

Jesus had siblings :

- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!

__________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

• If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
• They used to write differently!
• They used to speak differently!
• They used to think differently!
• They used to act differently!

__________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

• Point of time (a specific day)
• time period of a whole or half a day:
  • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
  • Sunrise to sunset
  • Sunset to next sunset
• General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
• A year "lived a lot of days"
• Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

__________________________________________________________________________

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.

Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

- The Child (paidion)



- My (mou) Son (huion)



- The Child’s (paidiou) life (psychen)

• And spiritual prostitution with their gods!
• Once again they oppose God!
• Once again we have a good example of the consequences of polygamy!
• And Yahweh becomes enraged with Israel!
• So Yah.weh tells Moses to hang up on all the leaders of this action!
• Worse, an Israelite comes with a Midianite woman before Moses and all the Israelites when they are weeping!
• And Eleazar the priest takes a spear in his hand and pierces both of them through their genital parts!
• BECAUSE OF HIS ACTION, the scourge is halted with a total of 24,000 dead!
• ONCE AGAIN, ISRAEL IS SAVED BY THE ACTION OF ONE MAN!
• OTHERWISE YAH.WEH WOULD HAVE EXTERMINATE THE ISRAELITES!
