Exegesis
The subject is tines {τινες | tínes} “some,” and the object of the hospitality is angelous {ἀγγέλους | angelous} “angels” in the accusative. The aorist indicative and participle together present a past, completed scenario that serves as a paradigm for readers. In translation, the genitive object of epilanthánesthe is rendered as a direct object in English (“neglect hospitality”) to maintain natural syntax, and the participial construction is converted into a finite verb phrase (“have shown hospitality” / “have hosted”) with an adverbial expression (“without knowing it,” “unknowingly”) to convey the idiomatic force of elathon.
In context — Hebrews 13:2
Do not neglect hospitality , for through this, some have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
