Exegesis

The narrative then moves to a coordinated series of aorist and imperfect verbs: synenegkan {συνήνεγκαν | synḗ-neg-kan} ‘they brought together’ introduces the decisive gathering of the books, while katekaion {κατέκαιον | ka-té-kai-on} ‘they were burning’ is imperfect, likely portraying the burning as a sustained public action rather than a mere instantaneous event.

In contextActs 19:19

Now many of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the presence of all. And they totaled the prices of them and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver .
