Exegesis
A second temporal clause heōs labē proimon kai opsimon {ἕως λάβῃ πρόϊμον καὶ ὄψιμον | héōs lábē próïmon kaí ópsimon} ‘until he may receive the early and late rains’ employs the aorist subjunctive labē {λάβῃ | lábē} to indicate the anticipated outcome. The structure pairs an imperative with a temporal limit followed by an idou-introduced analogy, which is maintained in two sentences to reflect the Greek parallelism and emphasize enduring expectation.
