Exegesis
The clause introduced by hina mē {ἵνα μὴ | hína mē} ‘so that not’ expresses purpose or result, followed by a coordinated chain of three aorist subjunctives: idōsin {ἴδωσιν | ídōsin} ‘might see’, noēsōsin {νοήσωσιν | noḗsōsin} ‘might understand’, and strafōsin {στραφῶσιν | straphōsin} ‘might turn’.
In context — John 12:40
He has blinded their eyes and He has hardened their heart , so that they would not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
