Hebrews 6:13-14
Made promise ( επαγγειλαμενος ). First aorist middle participle of επαγγελλω. Could swear by none greater ( κατ' ουδενος ειχεν μειζονος ομοσα ). Imperfect active of εχω in sense of εδυνατο as often with ομοσα (first aorist active infinitive of ομνυω ) and ωμοσεν (he sware) is first aorist active indicative.Surely ( ε μην ). By itacism for η μην (Deissmann, Bible Studies, p. 205). The quotation is from Ge 22:16f. (the promise renewed to Abraham with an oath after offering of Isaac).
Blessing ( ευλογων ). Hebraism (present active participle) for the Hebrew infinitive absolute and so with πληθυνων (multiplying).
