Daniel 7:28

[UrielM]

Is there anyone out there with a Greek apparatus, who can provide any lexicon or dictionary info for the Greek verb: "di'ee-neg'kehn" rendered as "changed" in the NKJV.

 

 

This verb appears only in Daniel 7:28 in Rahlfs LXX.

 

In particular, I want to know if this verb can be conjugated as "di'ee-neg'kehs", and if so, what would be its person, number, tense, voice, and mood, be.

 

See the attached.

 

Does it appear in this form, anywhere in Greek antiquity?

 

Much appreciation for any assistance here.

Moys 2:50 ὁ δὲ τὸ μὲν πρότερον ὑπολαβὼν ὅπερ ἦν τυραννικόν τε καὶ δεσποτικόν, ἄνευ παραμυθίας προστάττειν ὡς οὐκ ἐλευθέροις ἀλλὰ δούλοις, τὸ δ᾿ ὕστερον ἐμμελὲς μέν, οὐ μὴν τελείως ἐπαινετὸν ἅπασι τοῖς κριταῖς, ὡς ἔοικεν, ἐν ἑκατέρῳ τῶν λεχθέντων διήνεγκεν.

Legat 320 ἡ δέ γε καθάπερ ἐν τοῖς ἄλλοις ὅλον τὸ γένος κἀν τούτῳ διήνεγκεν ὑπὸ παιδείας ἀκράτου φύσει καὶ μελέτῃ περιγεγενημένη ἀρρενωθεῖσα τὸν λογισμόν ὃς οὕτως ὀξυδερκὴς ἐγεγένητο ὡς μᾶλλον τὰ νοητὰ καταλαμβάνειν τῶν αἰσθητῶν καὶ ταῦτα νομίζειν ἐκείνων εἶναι σκιάς


LXXS-T

Dan 7:28 ἐγὼ Δανιὴλ σφόδρα ἐκστάσει περιειχόμην, καὶ ἡ ἕξις μου διήνεγκεν ἐμοί, καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν καρδίᾳ μου ἐστήριξα.


JOSEPH-T

Antiq. 8:43 ὑπερῆρε δὲ καὶ διήνεγκε σοφίᾳ καὶ τῶν κατὰ τὸν αὐτὸν καιρὸν δόξαν ἐχόντων παρὰ τοῖς Ἑβραίοις ἐπὶ δεινότητι, ὧν οὐ παρελεύσομαι τὰ ὀνόματα· ἦσαν δὲ Ἄθανος καὶ Αἱμανὸς καὶ Χάλκεος καὶ Δάρδανος υἱοὶ Ἡμάωνος.

Antiq. 20:100 ¶      (20.5.2) Ἦλθε δὲ Φάδῳ διάδοχος Τιβέριος Ἀλέξανδρος Ἀλεξάνδρου παῖς τοῦ καὶ ἀλαβαρχήσαντος ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ γένει τε καὶ πλούτῳ πρωτεύσαντος τῶν ἐκεῖ καθ᾿ αὑτόν. διήνεγκε καὶ τῇ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν εὐσεβείᾳ τοῦ παιδὸς Ἀλεξάνδρου· τοῖς γὰρ πατρίοις οὐκ ἐνέμεινεν οὗτος ἔθεσιν.

Apion 2:170 αἴτιον δ᾿ ὅτι καὶ τῷ τρόπῳ τῆς νομοθεσίας πρὸς τὸ χρήσιμον πάντων ἀεὶ πολὺ διήνεγκεν· οὐ γὰρ μέρος ἀρετῆς ἐποίησεν τὴν εὐσέβειαν, ἀλλὰ ταύτης μέρη τἆλλα, λέγω δὲ τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν σωφροσύνην τὴν καρτερίαν τὴν τῶν πολιτῶν πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἐν ἅπασι συμφωνίαν·

Trypho 31 ¶ Εἰ δὲ τῇ τοῦ πάθους αὐτοῦ οἰκονομίᾳ τοσαύτη δύναμις δείκνυται παρακολουθήσασα καὶ παρακολουθοῦσα, πόση ἡ ἐν τῇ ἐνδόξῳ γινομένη αὐτοῦ παρουσίᾳ; Ὡς υἱὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐπάνω νεφελῶν ἐλεύσεται, ὡς Δανιὴλ ἐμήνυσεν, ἀγγέλων σὺν αὐτῷ ἀφικνουμένων. Εἰσὶ δὲ οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι· “Ἐθεώρουν ἕως ὅτου θρόνοι ἐτέθησαν· καὶ ὁ Παλαιὸς ἡμερῶν ἐκάθητο, ἔχων περιβολὴν ὡσεὶ χιόνα λευκήν, καὶ τὸ τρίχωμα τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἔριον καθαρόν, Ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ φλὸξ πυρός, οἱ τροχοὶ αὐτοῦ πῦρ φλέγον. Ποταμὸς πυρὸς εἷλκεν ἐκπορευόμενος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. Χίλιαι χιλιάδες ἐλειτούργουν αὐτῷ, καὶ μύριαι μυριάδες παρειστήκεισαν αὐτῷ. Βίβλοι ἀνεῴχθησαν, καὶ κριτήριον ἐκάθισεν. Ἐθεώρουν τότε τὴν φωνὴν τῶν μεγάλων λόγων, ὧν τὸ κέρας λαλεῖ· καὶ ἀπετυμπανίσθη τὸ θηρίον, καὶ ἀπώλετο τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐδόθη εἰς καῦσιν πυρός. Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ θηρία μετεστάθη τῆς ἀρχῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ χρόνος ζωῆς τοῖς θηρίοις ἐδόθη ἕως καιροῦ καὶ χρόνου. Ἐθεώρουν ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτός, καὶ ἰδοὺ μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὡς Υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενος· καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ Παλαιοῦ τῶν ἡμερῶν, καὶ παρῆν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ οἱ παρεστηκότες προσήγαγον αὐτόν· καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία καὶ τιμὴ βασιλική, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένη, καὶ πᾶσα δόξα λατρεύουσα. Καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ, ἐξουσία αἰώνιος, ἥτις οὐ μὴ ἀρθῇ· καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ φθαρῇ. Καὶ ἔφριξε τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐν τῇ ἕξει μου, καὶ αἱ ὁράσεις τῆς κεφαλῆς μου ἐτάρασσόν με. Καὶ προσῆλθον πρὸς ἕνα τῶν ἑστώτων, καὶ τὴν ἀκρίβειαν ἐζήτουν παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ πάντων τούτων. Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ λέγει μοι, καὶ τὴν κρίσιν τῶν λόγων ἐδήλωσέ μοι· Ταῦτα τὰ θηρία τὰ μεγάλα εἰσὶ τέσσαρες βασιλεῖαι, αἳ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐ παραλήψονται τὴν βασιλείαν ἕως αἰῶνος, καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος τῶν αἰώνων. Τότε ἤθελον ἐξακριβώσασθαι ὑπὲρ τοῦ τετάρτου θηρίου τοῦ καταφθείροντος πάντα καὶ ὑπερφόβου, καὶ οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτοῦ σιδηροῖ, καὶ οἱ ὄνυχες αὐτοῦ χαλκοῖ· ἐσθίον καὶ λεπτύνον, καὶ τὰ ἐπίλοιπα αὐτοῦ τοῖς ποσὶ κατεπάτει· καὶ περὶ τῶν δέκα κεράτων αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς τοῦ προσφυέντος, καὶ ἐξέπεσον ἐκ τῶν προτέρων δι᾿ αὐτοῦ τρία. Καὶ τὸ κέρας ἐκεῖνο εἶχεν ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ στόμα λαλοῦν μεγάλα, καὶ ἡ πρόσοψις αὐτοῦ ὑπερέφερε τὰ ἄλλα. Καὶ κατενόουν τὸ κέρας ἐκεῖνο πόλεμον συνιστάμενον πρὸς τοὺς ἁγίους, καὶ τροπούμενον αὐτούς, ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὸν Παλαιὸν ἡμερῶν· καὶ τὴν κρίσιν ἔδωκε τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῦ Ὑψίστου· καὶ ὁ καιρὸς ἐνέστη, καὶ τὸ βασίλειον κατέσχον ἅγιοι Ὑψίστου. Καὶ ἐρρέθη μοι περὶ τοῦ τετάρτου θηρίου· Βασιλεία τετάρτη ἔσται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἥτις διοίσει παρὰ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας ταύτας, καὶ καταφάγεται πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἀναστατώσει αὐτήν, καὶ καταλεανεῖ αὐτήν. Καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα, δέκα βασιλεῖς ἀναστήσονται μετ᾿ αὐτούς· καὶ οὗτος διοίσει κακοῖς ὑπὲρ τοὺς πρώτους, καὶ τρεῖς βασιλεῖς ταπεινώσει, καὶ ῥήματα πρὸς τὸν Ὕψιστον λαλήσει, καὶ ἑτέρους ἁγίους τοῦ Ὑψίστου καταστρέψει, καὶ προσδέξεται ἀλλοιῶσαι καιροὺς καὶ χρόνους. Καὶ παραδοθήσεται εἰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἕως καιροῦ καὶ καιρῶν, καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ. Καὶ ἡ κρίσις ἐκάθισε, καὶ τὴν ἀρχὴν μεταστήσουσι τοῦ ἀφανίσαι καὶ τοῦ ἀπολέσαι ἕως τέλους. Καὶ ἡ βασιλεία, καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία, καὶ ἡ μεγαλειότης τῶν τόπων τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν βασιλειῶν, ἐδόθη λαῷ ἁγίῳ Ὑψίστου βασιλεῦσαι βασιλείαν αἰώνιον· καὶ πᾶσαι ἐξουσίαι ὑποταγήσονται αὐτῷ, καὶ πειθαρχήσουσιν αὐτῷ. Ἕως ὧδε τὸ τέλος τοῦ λόγου. Ἐγὼ Δανιὴλ ἐκστάσει περιειχόμην σφόδρα, καὶ ἡ λέξις διήνεγκεν ἐμοί, καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου ἐτήρησα.”[72]

In case I misunderstood, the Greek inflected form διηνεγκες is not found in any Accordance texts.

[Ken Simpson]

Nor is διηνεγκης - as a verb

 

I tried using Perseus to see if it occurred outside what we have in Accordance, but it seems to have gotten a lot harder to use, and I was unsuccessful. I am not sure if I was actually doing the right thing for the search, so even though it said there were no occurrences found, I do not trust that result. I am sorry, I don’t have access to TLG.

 

I emphasised the “as a verb” item because the noun form “διαθήκης” is quite common as you would expect (genitive of the feminine noun for “testament” or “covenant”. But I’m sure you knew that. :-)

Glad it wasn't just me Ken, I tried the same and had a similar experience

Thx

I'm finding Perseus almost unusable these days.

Hey –

 

I was able to find other *φέρω verbs in aorist active indicative 2nd singular.  They all have alpha as the connecting vowel:

 

LXX:  1 Kgs 21:42; Neh 9:15; 4 Macc 17:3; Isa 57:6

 

Philo:  Legat 1:91 (Gaius 91)

 

Josephus:  Antiq 8:10; 16:210

 

There were no hits in either the Apostolic Fathers or in the Apologists, and none in the NT.

 

There were none for διαφέρω in aorist active indicative 2nd singular anywhere that I could find.  You might want to give Thesaurus Lingua Graecae a try?  Some of it is open access.
