Exegesis
This hope is further specified by the genitive construction tēs eis tous pateras hēmōn epangelias {τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας | tês eis toùs patéras hēmôn epangelías}, “of the promise to our fathers.” Here, the article tēs links back to elpidi, and the preposition eis with the accusative phrase tous pateras hēmōn identifies the direction or recipients of the promise, namely Israel’s ancestors, while epangelias names the promised content that grounds the hope.
