1 Full Answer Key to W.D. Mounce, Basics of Biblical Greek: Workbook Revision 11 January J.C. Beckman Preface Is using an answer key legitimate? Yes, but only if your teacher permits. If you use this answer key without your teacher s permission, you may be cheating in class. Taking a Greek class is worse than useless if it starts or continues a pattern of God-dishonoring dishonesty, whereas taking the risk of obedience is an opportunity to grow in faith. Hope in the Lord and do what is right! (Ps 37:3). Suggestion for use If your teacher allows, it may be helpful to use this answer key to check your answer to each workbook problem immediately after you have written a complete answer for it. Doing so will give you immediate feedback on whether or not you answered correctly. Beware, however, that if you look at the answer key before you write a complete answer in your workbook, you may not actually learn the material as well as you may think you have. Guide to the answer key The answer to a translation question steps through the text, giving for each word the parsing code (see page 2 of this answer key), an English equivalent, and sometimes also the lexical form. Then an English translation is given. In the early chapters, an intermediate translation is also given that preserves the Greek word order and minimizes the number of added words. In some lessons, the intermediate translation also contains grammatical information in {curly brackets}. The English translations given are often intentionally stilted in order to emphasize the grammar, to avoid paraphrasing the texts from memory, and to convey nuances that are too awkward to express in a normal translation.. When parsing questions ask for (2x) or (3x), we are looking for different lexical forms, moods, persons, or tenses. After chapter 7, words with multiple genders, voices, or cases are not marked as (2x) because they are so common. Errors? When you find errors in this answer key, please report them to john@teknia.com. We plan to keep the most recently corrected version of this document at If you are using this revision after the school year, please download the latest revision to use instead in order to avoid any errors that were already caught.

2 2 Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook Answer Key Parsing Code Tense P = Present Person 1 = 1 st Person I = Imperfect 2 = 2 nd Person F = Future 3 = 3 rd Person A = Aorist Gender M = Masculine T = Perfect F = Feminine L = Pluperfect N = Neuter R = Future Perfect Mf = Masculine or Feminine Voice A = Active Mn = Masculine or Neuter M = Middle Mfn = Masculine, Feminine, or Neuter P = Passive Number S = Singular Mp = Middle or Passive P = Plural Md = Middle Deponent Case N = Nominative Pd = Passive Deponent G = Genitive Mpd = (Middle or Passive) Deponent D = Dative Mood I = Indicative A = Accusative P = Participle (technically not a mood) V = Vocative S = Subjunctive Na = Nominative or Accusative N = Infinitive (technically not a mood) Nv = Nominative or Vocative M = Imperative Suffixes x = Indeclinable word O = Optative! = Emphatic form Parsings are abbreviated with a code (e.g., FSN) instead of being written in full (e.g., feminine singular nominative). The order of the code letters matters because the same letters are used with different meanings in different positions. For example, in the code NSN, the first N refers to neuter, and the second N refers to nominative. The order of the code letters depends upon the type of word as follows: Nouns, adjectives, & pronouns with gender: Gender, Number, Case, ( x if indeclinable) Pronouns without gender: Number, Case, (! if emphatic form) Finite verbs: Tense, Voice, Mood, Person, Number Infinitives: Tense, Voice, Mood Participles: Tense, Voice, Mood, Gender, Number, Case Prepositions:, Case of object of preposition If a word is indeclinable, we add the suffix x at the end of the parsing code to indicate that the case came from the context rather than from the form. The gender and number are fixed for most indeclinable words, but occasionally they come from the context as well. E.g., MSNx is an indeclinable form that is masculine, singular, nominative. We use upper case except when multiple parsings are possible. When multiple parsings are possible, we use lower case for additional possibilities in a position, so that each capital letter indicates a change in position. If the context indicates that one is correct, we underline it. E.g., PAI2S = Present Active Indicative 2nd person Singular E.g., MfnPG = Masculine, Feminine, or Neuter Plural Genitive, but FPG in that context. E.g., PAI3P/PAPMnPD = Present Active Indicative 3rd person Plural or Present Active Participle (Masculine or Neuter) Plural Dative. But PAI3P in that context. If a verb is deponent, we put a lower-case d at the end of the morphological voice code. E.g., PMpdI2S is middle or passive in form, but active in meaning ( middle-passive deponent ). E.g., AMdI2S is middle in form, but active in meaning ( middle deponent ). E.g., APdI2S is passive in form, but active in meaning ( passive deponent ). Prepositions do not inflect, so they do not need to be parsed. But, because the case of the object of the preposition may indicate the meaning of the preposition, the case of the object is used as the parsing code for prepositions. E.g., Parse the preposition as (G from) if it takes a genitive in that context, (D beside) if it takes a dative, and (A alongside of) if it takes an accusative in that context.

When do you find the two different forms of sigma? a. The final sigma form ( ) is written wherever lower-case sigma is the last letter of a word. b. The normal lower-case form ( ) is written wherever lower-case sigma is not the last letter of a word. 3. What are the two breathing marks, and when do you find them? a. The rough breathing mark ( ) sounds like the English letter h. b. The smooth breathing mark ( ) does not affect pronunciation. If the first letter of a word is a vowel or the letter rho ( ), the word has a breathing mark. If the first letter of a word is not a vowel or the letter rho ( ), the word does not have a breathing mark. If the first letter of a word is upsilon ( ) or rho ( ), the breathing mark is always a rough breathing mark. Otherwise, either a rough breathing mark or a smooth breathing mark could be used, depending upon the word. The breathing mark is placed as follows: If the word begins with a diphthong, then the breathing mark goes over the second vowel of the diphthong (e.g., % and %). Otherwise, the breathing mark goes over the first letter of the word (e.g.,,,, and %). Exception: If the first letter is a capital letter (and not part of a diphthong), the breathing mark goes in front of the capital letter instead of over it, because there is no room over the capital letter to put a breathing mark. (e.g., &,, and ). 4. How does the iota subscript affect pronunciation? The iota subscript does not affect pronunciation When is the diaeresis used? The diaeresis ( ) is used over the second of two vowels in a row that normally form a diphthong, but should be pronounced separately in this particular word. For example, in English, Noel as a man s name has one syllable and rhymes with mole because oe forms a diphthong in English. Noël as a woman s name, however, has two syllables and is pronounced as no el because the diaeresis over the e indicates that oe does not form a diphthong in this word. 1 Advanced information: Some teachers instruct students to pronounce alpha differently depending on whether it is short or long. Since iota only subscripts under long vowels, if alpha has an iota subscript, then you know that it is a long alpha, and should be pronounced accordingly. Where there is no iota subscript, however, you need some other information to know whether the alpha is long or short, and hence how to pronounce it. So the iota subscript does not affect the pronunciation of alpha, but it tells you which pronunciation to use. Because of the difficulty in knowing whether an alpha is long or short, some teachers have students pronounce alpha the same regardless of whether it is long or short. 3

5 Syllabification Exercise 4 Punctuation and Syllabification 1. % Rule 1: There is one vowel or diphthong per syllable. The word % has two vowels, alpha ( ) and eta ( ), neither of which is part of a diphthong, so there are two syllables in the word. Alpha ( ) is in one syllable, and eta ( ) is in the other syllable. The remaining rules are used to determine where to put the consonants. Mu ( ) is set by rule 2: a single consonant by itself goes with the following vowel unless it is the final letter of the word. Since mu ( ) is a single consonant by itself (instead of being next to another consonant), it goes with the following vowel, namely eta ( ). Nu ( ) is also set by rule 2: a single consonant by itself (not next to another consonant) goes with the following vowel unless it is the final letter of the word. Nu ( ) is a single consonant by itself, but since it is the final letter of the word, it goes with the preceding vowel, eta ( ). 2. ' ( Rule 1: There is one vowel or diphthong per syllable. There are two vowels, alpha ( ) and eta ( ), neither of which is part of a diphthong, so there are two syllables in the word. Alpha ( ) is in one syllable, and eta ( ) is in the other syllable. The remaining rules are used to determine where to put the consonants. Gamma-rho ( ' ) is a consonant cluster because it is two consonants in a row. Therefore, we use either rule 4, 5, or 6. It is not a double consonant, since gamma ( ' ) and rho ( ) are two different letters, so we don t use rule 6. Therefore, we use either rule 4 or 5, depending on whether or not gamma-rho ( ' ) can be pronounced together. The main clue for whether consonants can be pronounced together is that if they begin a word, they can be pronounced together. Gamma-rho ( ' ) obviously can begin a word, so we follow rule 5: a consonant cluster that can begin a word goes with the following vowel. Therefore, gamma-rho ( ' ) goes with the following vowel, namely alpha ( ). Phi ( ( ) is set by rule 2: a single consonant by itself goes with the following vowel unless it is the final letter of the word. Since phi ( ( ) is not next to another consonant (and therefore is a single consonant by itself), it goes with the following vowel, namely eta ( ). 3. ) Rule 1: There is one vowel or diphthong per syllable. There are three vowels, epsilon ( ), alpha ( ) and omicron ( ), none of which is part of a diphthong, so each gets a separate syllable. Sigma-chi ( ) is a consonant cluster because it is two consonants in a row. Therefore, we use either rule 4, 5, or 6. It is not a double consonant, since sigma ( ) and chi ( ) are two different letters, so we don t use rule 6. Therefore, we use either rule 4 or 5, depending on whether or not sigma-chi ( ) can be pronounced together. Looking in the lexicon in the back of the textbook, we find the word * on page 438, indicating that sigmachi ( ) can begin a word, and therefore can be pronounced together. Therefore we follow rule 5: a consonant cluster that can begin a word goes with the following vowel. So sigma-chi ( ) goes with the following vowel, alpha ( ). Tau ( ) is set by rule 2: a single consonant by itself goes with the following vowel unless it is the final letter of the word. Since tau ( ) is not next to another consonant, it goes with the following vowel, omicron ( ). Sigma ( ) is also set by rule 2: a single consonant goes by with the following vowel unless it is the final letter of the word. Sigma ( ) is not next to another consonant, but since it is the final letter of the word, it goes with the preceding vowel, omicron ( ). 5

6 6 Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook Answer Key 4. + Rule 1: There is one vowel or diphthong per syllable. There are three vowels, alpha ( ), iota ( ), and alpha ( ), none of which is part of a diphthong, so each gets a separate syllable. In particular, iota-alpha ( ) does not form a diphthong, so those two vowels are divided (rule 3). Kappa ( ) is set by rule 2: a single consonant by itself goes with the following vowel unless it is the final letter of the word. Since kappa ( ) is not next to another consonant, it goes with the following vowel, alpha ( ). Rho-delta ( + ) is a consonant cluster because it is two consonants in a row. Therefore, we use either rule 4, 5, or 6. It is not a double consonant, since rho ( ) and delta ( + ) are two different letters, so we don t use rule 6. Therefore, we use either rule 4 or 5, depending on whether or not rho-delta ( + ) can be pronounced together. Looking in the lexicon in the back of the textbook, we don't find any words that begin with rho-delta ( + ). But, since the lexicon in the back of the textbook is not exhaustive, it still is possible that a word that begins with rho-delta ( + ) exists. To be certain, we would have to do an exhaustive search. 1 But for now, if the lexicon in the back of the textbook doesn't list such a word, we can assume that one doesn't exist. Given that assumption (which is correct in this case), we follow rule 4: a consonant cluster that can not begin a word is divided into separate syllables. Therefore, the consonant cluster rho-delta ( + ) is divided, with the first letter, rho ( ), going with the preceding vowel alpha ( ), and the second letter, delta ( + ), going with the following vowel iota ( ). 5. Rule 1: There is one vowel or diphthong per syllable. There are three vowels, epsilon ( ), upsilon ( ), and alpha ( ). The combination epsilon-upsilon ( ) forms a diphthong, as described on page 10 of the textbook, so there are two syllables, with epsilon-upsilon ( ) in one syllable, and alpha ( ) in the other. Pi-nu ( ) is a consonant cluster because it is two consonants in a row. Therefore, we use either rule 4, 5, or 6. Since the cluster begins a word, we follow rule 5: a consonant cluster that can begin a word goes with the following vowel (or diphthong). Therefore, Pi-nu ( ) goes with the following vowel or diphthong, which in this case is the diphthong epsilon-upsilon ( ). Mu ( ) is set by rule 2: a single consonant by itself goes with the following vowel unless it is the final letter of the word. Since mu ( ) is not next to another consonant, it goes with the following vowel, alpha ( ). 6. ( There are three vowels, none of which are part of a diphthong, so there are three syllables (rule 1). The consonant cluster begins a word, so it goes with the following vowel, omicron ( ) (rule 5). Phi ( ( ) is a single consonant by itself, so it goes with the following vowel, eta ( ) (rule 2). Tau ( ) is a single consonant by itself, so it goes with the following vowel, eta ( ) (rule 2). Sigma ( ) is single consonant by itself, but it is also the last letter of the word, so it goes with the preceding vowel, eta ( ) (rule 2). 7. There are three vowels, none of which are part of a diphthong, so there are three syllables (rule 1). Sigma is a single consonant by itself, so it goes with the following vowel, alpha ( ) (rule 2). The consonant cluster beta-beta ( ) is a double consonant, since the same consonant occurs twice in a row, so it is divided. The first beta goes with the preceding vowel, and the second beta goes with the following vowel (rule 6). Tau ( ) is a single consonant by itself, so it goes with the following vowel, omicron ( ) (rule 2). Nu ( ) is a single consonant by itself, but it is also the last letter of the word, so it goes with the preceding vowel, omicron ( ) (rule 2). 8. )' ' There are three vowels, none of which are part of a diphthong, so there are three syllables (rule 1). 1 The only way to do a truly exhaustive search is to check the electronic TLG database, which costs thousands of dollars and can be found in many theological libraries. But there are several more practical ways to do a search that is close to exhaustive. Many Bible software programs can do a search that covers the New Testament and the Septuagint, although they don't cover the entire corpus of ancient Greek literature as the TLG does. The Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament by Mounce and the Barclay Newman dictionary in the back of the UBS New Testament cover every word in the New Testament. The BDAG lexicon is even more extensive because it covers not only every word in the New Testament, but it also most words that occur in the LXX and early Christian writings.

7 Exercise 4: Punctuation and Syllabification 7 The consonant cluster gamma-gamma ( '' ) is a double consonant, since the same consonant occurs twice in a row, so it is divided. The first gamma goes with the preceding vowel, and the second gamma goes with the following vowel (rule 6). 2 Lambda ( ) is a single consonant by itself, so it goes with the following vowel, omicron ( ) (rule 2). Sigma ( ) is a single consonant by itself, but it is also the last letter of the word, so it goes with the preceding vowel, omicron ( ) (rule 2). 9. ), There are three vowels, none of which are part of a diphthong, so there are three syllables (rule 1). Nu-theta-rho (, ) is a consonant cluster because it is three consonants in a row. Checking the lexicon demonstrates that it cannot begin a word, and hence must be split. Because there are three consonants in a row, and because there is one vowel or diphthong per syllable (rule 1), the middle consonant theta (, ) must be grouped with either the preceding consonant nu ( ) or the following consonant rho ( ). Therefore, we will either divide it as (, ) or as (, ). Which cluster can stay together,, or,? Neither cluster is a double consonant (rule 6), so we must use either rule 4 or rule 5. Checking the lexicon demonstrates that the consonant cluster nu-theta (,) cannot begin a word, and hence must be split into separate syllables (rule 4), with the first consonant nu () going with the preceding vowel alpha () and the remaining consonants theta-rho (,) going with the following vowel, omega ( ). But is, allowed to stay together? Yes, since it can begin the word,, which is found on page 425 in the lexicon in the back of the textbook (rule 5). Pi ( ) is a single consonant by itself, so it goes with the following vowel, omicron ( ) (rule 2). Sigma ( ) is a single consonant by itself, but it is also the last letter of the word, so it goes with the preceding vowel, omicron ( ) (rule 2). 10. There are five vowels, none of which are part of a diphthong, so there are five syllables (rule 1). In particular, epsilon-omega ( ) does not form a diphthong, so those two vowels are divided into separate syllables (rule 3). Pi, rho, pi, and tau are all single consonants by themselves, so they each go with the following vowel (rule 2). 2 For those who are wondering It is true that the first gamma is a gamma nasal (pp of the textbook), and the second gamma is not. Nevertheless, it is still the same consonant twice in a row, and is therefore a double consonant. As such, rule 6 still applies.

9 Definitions Chapters 1-4 Review #1 1. What is a gamma nasal, and how is it pronounced? A gamma nasal is the letter gamma ( ' ) when followed by gamma ( ' ), kappa ( ), xsi ( - ), or chi ( ). In other words, it is the first letter of the consonant clusters '', ', '-, or '. A gamma nasal is pronounced like the English letter n. Therefore, the consonant clusters with a gamma nasal are pronounced as follows: '' as ng, ' as nk, '- as nks, and ' as nch. 2. What is a diphthong? A diphthong is two vowels in a row that are pronounced together as one sound in one syllable rather than separately as two sounds in two syllables. The diphthongs that appear in the New Testament are as follows: 1 Lower Case Upper Case Transliteration Pronunciation ai aisle! ei eight " oi oil # au sauerkraut "# ou soup # ui suite!# eu feud # u feud 3. What is an improper diphthong? An improper diphthong is an alpha, eta, or omega with an iota subscript. 2 An improper diphthong is transliterated as if the iota subscript were a normal iota. An improper diphthong is pronounced as if the iota subscript did not exist. 3 Lower Case Transliteration Pronunciation. ai father. i obey. i tone 4. Describe when an apostrophe is used. An apostrophe ( ) is used in the process of elision. In elision, certain words that end in a vowel substitute an apostrophe for the final vowel when followed by a word that begins with a vowel. Note that an apostrophe, a smooth breathing mark, and a coronis (used in the process of crasis, described on pages 111 and 338 of the textbook) all look identical. 1 Advanced information: There is one other Greek diphthong,, which doesn t occur as a diphthong in the NT (although /occurs in the NT and the diphthong does appear in the LXX). is pronounced as a diphthong by combining the two separate sounds into one quick, smooth sound h'-oo (Herbert Weir Smyth, Greek Grammar, rev. Gordon M. Messing (Harvard, 1984), 13). 2 Advanced information: When written in capital letters, the iota of an improper diphthong is written as a normal capital iota (Smyth, 9). As a result,. and are both written in Greek capital letters as, and can only be distinguished by context. 3 Advanced information: In the combination alpha-iota, if the alpha is short, the iota will not subscript, forming the diphthong. And if the alpha is long, the iota will subscript, forming the improper diphthong. So if you pronounce short and long alpha differently, pronounce the improper diphthong. as you pronounce a long alpha. 9

How are the two sigmas used in one word? Lower-case sigma is written ( ) when it is the last letter of a word, and is written ( ) everywhere else. E.g., %. 3. Give an example of a smooth breathing mark and a rough breathing mark. % has a smooth breathing mark. has a rough breathing mark. 4. Punctuation Marks. Match the Greek punctuation mark with its function. a., semi-colon b.. question mark c. (dot above the line) comma d. ; period 5. Accents. Match the appropriate accent marks with their proper name. a. circumflex b. acute c. grave 4 6. How does an accent affect a translation? For most words, accent does not affect translation in any way. There are a few words that can only be distinguished by their accents. For a list, see page 338 in the textbook. Certain personal pronoun forms may have more emphasis if they are accented than if they are not. This is described on pages 91 and 92 in the textbook. 7. Syllabification. Divide the following words into syllables. a. + + [ can begin the word, so it stays together.] b. + [ does not begin any words, so it is divided.] c. ), [See the explanation on page 7 of this answer key (syllabification #9).] d. ' [ does not begin any words, so it is divided.] e. [ is a double consonant, so it is divided.] 4 The word grave, when it refers to the accent, can either be pronounced the same as when it refers to a tomb, or it can be pronounced with the sound of the letter a in the word part.

11 Parsing Exercise 6 Nominative and Accusative; Definite Article A bullet ( ) separates the word s stem from its case ending. A dash ( ) indicates the absence of a case ending. To introduce you to the parsing code used in the answers to the translation questions, we have added a column for it. The parsing code is explained on page 2 of this answer key. Note that the order for the parsing code is (gender, number, case), which differs from the order of the columns of the table. Although we list multiple possible inflected meanings for some words, you need only list one unless your teacher instructs otherwise. Inflected Case Number Gender Lexical Form Parsing Code 1. ), Accusative Singular Masculine ), MSA Inflected Meaning man, mankind, person, humankind, human being 2. > Nominative Plural Feminine?

He saved others. 1 God is the one being loved, not the one who is doing the loving, because, is in the accusative case and is therefore the direct object. Furthermore, the verb is plural ( they love ), whereas it would be singular if God were the one doing the loving. If it were written %'. (he/she/it loves) +,, God would be in the nominative case, and would therefore be the subject (the one doing the action of the verb). The sentence could then be translated And God loves. 11

You search the Scriptures. 2 )' could be either nominative or accusative, which is why the parsing code (NSNa) has Na. To decide which it is, we need to understand verbs, which we will beginning in chapter 15! In brief, the verb is passive voice, as is indicated by the translation given to you, he/she/it is finished. A passive-voice verb cannot have a direct object, so )' cannot be the direct object. Therefore it is the subject and is in the nominative case, as indicated by the underlining of the N in the parsing code Na. If the verb were active voice, as indicated by a translation he/she/it finished, then the verb could have a direct object, and one could translate it as he/she/it finished the work, with )' as the direct object and therefore in the accusative case. 3 This sentence is complicated because it has an independent clause and a dependent clause. The independent clause has the subject I, the verb know, and the direct object that the work is finished. The dependent clause has the subject the work, and the verb is finished. The dependent clause does not have a direct object. 4 In both Greek and English, the subject of this sentence is not explicit. The form of the Greek verb implies that the subject is you (plural). The English sentence implies that the subject is you, but does not indicate whether it is singular or plural.

13 Exercise 6: Nominative and Accusative; Definite Article (he/she/it has come) ( MSN the) ( MSN (appointed) time) (and) )'' (it has drawn near) ( FSN the) ( FSN kingdom), (of God).

The Christ {direct object} believe {verb} the people {subject} because they {subject} know {verb} the love {direct object} his. The people believe Christ because they know his love. 5 Of God (,) modifies the kingdom ( ). So you can consider the kingdom of God to be the complete subject. 6 ; could be either nominative or accusative, hence the parsing code contains Na. The N is underlined, indicating that it is nominative, because the sentence makes sense if it is nominative, but not if it is accusative. 7 ; ), is in the accusative case, but it is not the direct object. Instead it is the object of the preposition +, as you will learn in chapter 8! 8 ; (the second occurrence in the sentence) could be either nominative or accusative, hence the parsing code contains Na in the case position (the final letter). The a is underlined, indicating that in this context, it is accusative rather than nominative. But the reason that it is accusative is beyond what you have learned thus far. It is the object of the preposition +, which can take an object in the accusative, but not in the nominative, as you will learn in chapter 8! 9 Advanced information: This is a complicated sentence because it has both an independent clause ( He sent them ) and a dependent infinitival clause ( to preach the kingdom of God ). To preach is an infinitive verb that is the verb of the infinitival clause. The kingdom of God is the direct object of the infinitive; it is not the direct object of sent, which is the verb of the independent clause. This grammar will be explained in chapter 32! 10 The textbook gives several definitions for?, namely, that, since, because. The first definition ( that ) does not work in the sentence try it and see! So if a sentence makes no sense when you try to translate it, try other definitions for the words to see if there is a definition that makes sense in the sentence.

And they {subject} lifted up {verb} the voices {direct object} their. And they lifted up their voices is an indeclinable noun. As such, it still has gender, number, and case. Being indeclinable means that it does not change its form when it changes number and case, so you need to determine the number and case from the context instead of from the form of the word. The lexicon tells you that 6 is masculine. Since it is a person s name, it is unlikely to be plural (and reading the context in Genesis 4:23 confirms that there is only one Lamech in view). But what case is it? If Lamech is nominative, the sentence reads And Lamech said the words, which is a reasonable sentence. But if Lamech is accusative, the sentence reads And he/she/it said the words the Lamech, which doesn t make sense. The reason it doesn t make sense is that there is already a direct object ( the words ). Therefore, 6 is the subject, and is therefore in the nominative case. That is why the parsing code ( MSNx ) ends with an x; the word is nominative, but because the word is indeclinable, we figured out the case based on the context rather than basing it on the spelling of the word. 12 ; )' could be either nominative or accusative. It is accusative rather than nominative ( N% rather than Na ) because we already have a subject for the sentence (%), and so the sentence does not make sense if )' is nominative (try it!). 13 Actually, Lord, Christ, and him are not direct objects. They are double accusatives of object-complement (Wallace, 182ff). Him is the object. Lord and Christ are the complements. But this is second-year Greek! 14 is in the accusative case because it is the object of the preposition %, as you ll learn in chapter 8. It is not the direct object. Words can be in the accusative case for any of a number of reasons; being the direct object is not the only reason, although it is one of the most common.

15 Parsing Exercise 7 Genitive and Dative A bullet ( ) separates the word s stem from its case ending. Ignore the stem for the article. Just notice that the article uses the normal case endings. A dash ( ) indicates the absence of a case ending. To introduce you to the parsing code used in the answers to the translation questions, we have added a column for it. The parsing code is explained on page 2 of this answer key. Note that the order for the parsing code is (gender, number, case), which differs from the order of the columns of the table. Although we list multiple possible inflected meanings for some words, you need only list one unless your teacher instructs otherwise. After this chapter, we will not put (2x) by parsings that have multiple genders or cases. Inflected Case Number Gender Lexical Form Parsing Code BC %'. Dative Singular Feminine %' FSD to a love 2.

Has drawn near {verb} for the kingdom {subject} of the heavens. For the Kingdom of Heaven has drawn near. 1 The word could be either masculine or neuter. This ambiguity is indicated in the parsing code by Mn. But because it is immediately followed by, it almost certainly modifies, and must therefore match it in gender, number, and case. Therefore, since is masculine, is also, and we underline the M in the parsing code MnSG. 2 To know whether % is masculine or neuter, you need to look at the context. In the context of Mark 2:2 (from whence this came), Jesus is speaking to people, so % is masculine, and we underlined M in the parsing code MnPD. But you don t know that from the exercise itself, so you could have left the parsing ambiguous by not underlining. 3 To know whether % refers to he, she, or it speaking you need to look at the context. In Mark 2:2 (from whence this came), Jesus is the one speaking, so we wrote he. 4 Actually, to the sin is not an indirect object. In this sentence, sin is actually a dative of reference (Wallace, 144ff), as you ll learn in second-year Greek! As a result, we wrote in rather than the key word to in our final translation.

( FSN the) %' (%' FSN love) ' (for) ( MnSG of the), (, MSG of god) ++ (he/she/it teaches) ( FSA the) %- (%- FSA authority) ( MnSG of the) ( MSG of lord). The love {subject} for of the god teaches {verb} the authority {direct object} of the lord. For the love of God teaches the authority of the Lord. 13. ( FPN the) % (% FPN rulers) ( MnSG of the) ( MSGx of Israel) 8 % (not) % (they believed)? (that, because) ( MSN the) ( MSN Jesus) (he/she/it hates) ( FPA the) ( FSG/FPA sins). The rulers {subject} of the Israel not believed {verb} that/because Jesus {subject} hates {verb} the sins {direct object}. The rulers of Israel did not believe that [or because ] Jesus hates sins As the footnote in the workbook indicates, this is the direct object even though it is in the dative case. There are a few verbs that take their direct object in the dative case rather than in the accusative case, and (the lexical form of the verb %) is one of them. 6 + is not the indirect object. The reason that it is in the dative case is that it is the object of the preposition %. That is why we did not use the key word to. We ll learn about this in the next chapter! 7 Personal names are often indeclinable. The name is partially declinable, meaning that although it has gender, number, and case, some cases share the same form. Specifically, is used for both the genitive and dative form, as indicated by Gd in the parsing code. Since translating it as a genitive modifier ( of Jesus ) makes sense, and since translating it as a dative ( to Jesus, etc.) does not make sense, we know that it is genitive, and indicate this by underlining the G in the parsing code. 8 Because is indeclinable, the form doesn t indicate the parsing. We know from the lexicon that it is masculine. The article indicates that it is masculine singular genitive, so we parse it as MSG, but then append an x to the parsing code to indicate that the word is indeclinable, and we chose this parsing based on the context rather than the form. 9 Notice how the ambiguity of the word? creates two very different possible meanings for this sentence!

She {subject} said {verb} to the Jesus {indirect object} that {or quotation marks} they {subject} are angry {verb} to the kingdom of the men. She told Jesus that they are angry at the kingdom of men. OR She said to Jesus, They are angry at the kingdom of men. 10 The parsing of is surprising, but it follows the rules. The lexicon tells you that it is neuter and that the lexical form is. According to noun rule #2, every neuter word has the same form in the nominative and accusative, so the lexical form could be either nominative or accusative. So, although it is surprising that a word with lexical form ending in is neuter, once you know that it is, you know that the form could be either nominative or accusative. 11. %''. is in the dative case, but it is the direct object of the verb ( I believe ), which takes a direct object in the dative case. So we do not use the key word to for. %''. 12 is in the dative case, but it is not the indirect object because sins don t receive mercy, sinners do. Instead, it is in the dative case because it is a dative of reference (Wallace, ). So we use a different key word.

When we parse a verb, we give much more information than that. But that is all you have learned thus far, so we won t give the full parsing for verbs until chapter
