e-gnô-ree-SAS moi ho-DOUS dzô-ÊS plê-RÔ-seis me eu-phro-SY-nês me-TA tou pro-SÔ-pou sou
Exegesis
The first clause uses the aorist egnorisas {ἐγνώρισάς | egnṓ-ri-sas} ‘You made known’ with the dative moi {μοι | moi} ‘to me’ and the object phrase hodous zoes {ὁδοὺς ζωῆς | ho-doùs zō-ês} ‘paths of life’. Here the genitive zoes functions as a genitive of quality or content, presenting the “paths” as characterized by, or consisting in, life.
Root and etymology
zaozeta–alpha–omega
“to live, be alive”
In context — Acts 2:28
You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.
