Exegesis

The articular participial clause ho pro tou-tōn tōn hēmerōn anastatōsas kai exagagōn {ὁ πρὸ τούτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἀναστατώσας καὶ ἐξαγαγὼν | ho prò toútōn tôn hēmérōn anastatṓsas kaì exagagṓn} functions as a relative clause, with pro {πρὸ | prò} ‘before’ + genitive ‘these days’ qualifying both participles.

The directional phrase eis tēn erēmon {εἰς τὴν ἔρημον | eis tḕn érēmon} ‘into the wilderness’ specifies the destination, and the accusative object tous tetrakischilious andras tōn sikariōn {τοὺς τετρακισχιλίους ἄνδρας τῶν σικαρίων | tous tetrakischilíous ándras tôn sikariṓn} quantifies the group with a cardinal numeral and identifies them by a genitive of group. In English, the participial construction is rendered as a finite relative clause for clarity while preserving the inferential nuance of the opening.
