Exegesis
The relative clause hou hē oikia ēn synomorousa tē synagōgē {οὗ ἡ οἰκία ἦν συνομοροῦσα τῇ συναγωγῇ | hû hē oi-kí-a ēn sy-no-mo-ROU-sa tē sy-na-gō-gē} further defines this man by reference to his property: “whose house was adjoining the synagogue.” Here, hē oikia serves as the subject, ēn as the copula, and the participle synomorousa functions predicatively, with the dative tē synagōgē expressing close spatial adjacency. In translation, the participial constructions are rendered with finite verbs or relative clauses to maintain natural English flow while preserving the temporal sequence and the emphasis on both personal piety and strategic location next to the synagogue.
