Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ex henos {ἐξ ἑνὸς | ex he-NÓS} “from one” precedes its object pan ethnos anthrōpōn {πᾶν ἔθνος ἀνθρώπων | pân Éth-nos an-THRṓ-pōn}, a unit that combines the distributive adjective pan with the collective noun ethnos modified by the genitive anthrōpōn; together they emphasize the unity of origin for every nation of humanity.
