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.”

The temporal relative clause with héōs hoû {ἕως οὗ | hé-ōs hoû} and the aorist passive prosēnékhthē {προσηνέχθη | pro-sē-nékh-thē} “was offered,” together with hyper henos hekástou autôn {ὑπὲρ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου αὐτῶν | hy-pér he-nós he-kás-tou au-tṓn}, specifies the endpoint and beneficiaries “for each one of them.”
