Exegesis
The phrase to ethnos to son {τὸ ἔθνος τὸ σὸν | to ETH-nos to SON} uses a repeated article plus possessive adjective to intensify ownership, while kai {καὶ | kai} coordinates that group with hoi archiereis {οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς | hoi ar-khi-e-REIS}, making both groups the joint subject of paredōkan {παρέδωκάν | pa-re-DO-kan} ‘delivered over’.
Root and etymology
archi + hiereusar-khi + hi-e-reus
