al-LA tou-TO E-stin to ei-rê-ME-non di-A tou pro-PHÊ-tou i-ô-ÊL
Exegesis
The verb estin {ἐστιν | éstin} ‘is’ serves as the copula, linking the subject touto to the predicate nominative phrase to eirēmenon {τὸ εἰρημένον | tó eirēménon} ‘the thing that has been spoken’. Here the perfect passive participle eirēmenon, used substantivally with the article, conveys a word spoken in the past whose effects or validity continue into the present, underscoring the enduring relevance of Joel’s prophecy.
Root and etymology
