Acts 7:7
Footnote:
25 | In Koine Greek, ᾧ ἐὰν + subjunctive functions like an “open” or indefinite relative. It doesn’t specify a particular noun; instead, it expresses a variable or contingent case:
Together, ᾧ ἐὰν δουλεύσωσι literally means “to whichever [one] they may serve,” allowing for any possible nation — a kind of Greek equivalent of a “variable placeholder” in logic or algebra. It’s very common in contexts expressing uncertainty, conditionality, or generality. |
