What is an awesome eld ? BDAG αἰών


Enoch

Recommended Posts

Is this a typo or a word I have not encountered before, in BDAG article on αἰών.

 

"1.  a long period of time, without ref. to beginning or end,

a. of time gone by, the past, earliest times, readily suggesting a venerable or awesome eld"

Is my eld more awesome than thine?

I could see this used in a denominational argument, wherein one party claims that he has a more venerable and awesome eld.

Does anyone know how this should read? 

 

My apologies for the initial gigantic size of the font -- I don't know how that happened.  I guess, like Aaron, I threw the gold into the fire & the calf came out!

Has this word processor gone crazy?  I don't know how the font got huge on my earlier post; nor why it has huge spaces between lines after I reduced the size of the font.

eld, eld-er, eld-est

 

Makes sense to me! :)
