Exegesis
The imperfect verb portrays ongoing entry into the temple, and the concurrent participle diangellōn {διαγγέλλων | di-ang-gél-lōn} “announcing” introduces the noun phrase ekplērōsin tōn hēmerōn tou hagnismou {ἐκπλήρωσιν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ ἁγνισμοῦ | ek-plḗ-rō-sin tôn hē-mer-ṓn toû hag-nis-moû} “the fulfillment of the days of purification.”
In context — Acts 21:26
Then Paul took the men, and on the next day, having purified himself with them, he entered the temple, announcing the fulfillment of the days of purification until the offering was presented for each one of them.
