Exegesis

The coordinating kai ton logon sou tetērēkan {καὶ τὸν λόγον σου τετήρηκαν | kai ton logon sou tetērēkan} closes the sentence with a perfect tense that presents their keeping as an action with continuing results. The syntax therefore moves in a carefully linked sequence from revelation, to identification of the recipients, to prior ownership, to transfer, and finally to enduring fidelity.
