Exegesis
The fronted subject monai pollai {μοναὶ πολλαί | monaí pollaí} ‘many dwelling places’ comes before eisin {εἰσιν | eisin} ‘are,’ giving prominence to abundance before the verb completes the thought.
In context — John 14:2
In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places ; if that were not the case, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
