Exegesis

The preposition di᾽ with the genitive in di᾽ holēs tēs chōras {δι᾽ ὅλης τῆς χώρας | diá hó-lēs tês chó-ras} has a distributive sense, meaning “throughout,” and highlights the comprehensive geographic spread. Greek word order places the finite verb first, foregrounding the action of spreading, followed by the subject and its genitive qualifier; in English this is rendered with a subject–verb order (“the word of the Lord was being spread”) while preserving both the imperfective aspect (“was being spread” / “kept spreading”) and the emphasis on the message’s reach “throughout all the region.”
