Luke 12:18
I will pull down ( καθελω ). Future active of καθαιρεω, an old verb, the usual future being καθαιρησω. This second form from the second aorist καθειλον (from obsolete ελω ) like αφελε in Re 22:19.My barns ( μου τας αποθηκας ). From αποτιθημ, to lay by, to treasure. So a granary or storehouse, an old word, six times in the N.T. (Mt 3:12; 6:26; 13:30; Lu 3:17; 12:18, 24).
All my corn ( παντα τον σιτον ). Better grain (wheat, barley), not maize or Indian corn.
My goods ( τα αγαθα μου ). Like the English, my good things. So the English speak of goods (freight) train.
