Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive absolute construction hemeron de diagenomenon tinon {Ἡμερῶν δὲ διαγενομένων τινῶν | Hēmerōn dè diagenomenōn tinōn} “but after certain days had passed,” which functions as a temporal clause setting the scene for the main action. This circumstantial genitive is syntactically independent of the main clause yet logically connected, marking the passage of time between episodes in the narrative.
