Exegesis

A second participle, enenkas {ἐνέγκας | enéngkas} ‘having brought’, precedes the main verb ethēken {ἔθηκεν | éthēken} ‘he placed’ and is aorist as well, marking the bringing of the gift as action completed prior to the placing of it.

In contextActs 5:2

And he kept back for himself from the price, with the knowledge also of his wife, and having brought a certain part, he placed it at the feet of the apostles .
