Exegesis
The strong adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | al-lá} introduces a contrasting clause with two coordinated aorist verbs, apōsanto {ἀπώσαντο | ap-ṓ-san-to} and estraphēsan {ἐστράφησαν | e-strá-phē-san}, portraying a decisive act of rejection followed by a consequential turning. The passive form estraphēsan presents the turning as a change of state rather than highlighting the manner of action.
