Exegesis
The qualitative relative pronoun hoitines {οἵτινες | hoí-ti-nes} introduces a relative clause that characterizes the Bereans: hoitines edexanto ton logon meta pasēs prothumias {οἵτινες ἐδέξαντο τὸν λόγον μετὰ πάσης προθυμίας}, “who received the word with all eagerness.”
The aorist middle edexanto {ἐδέξαντο | e-DÉ-xan-to} depicts a decisive yet personally engaged reception of the message, while the genitive phrase meta pasēs prothumias {μετὰ πάσης προθυμίας | me-tà pá-sēs pro-thu-mí-as} intensifies their inward disposition.
