Exegesis
The verse begins with the prepositional and connective sequence en de tē eschate hēmera tē megale tēs heortēs {Ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ μεγάλῃ τῆς ἑορτῆς | En dè tē̂ eschátē hēmérā tē̂ megalē̂ tēs heortês} “on the last day, the great {day} of the feast,” where the dative phrase specifies time and the repeated article–adjective–noun structure heightens the climactic nature of the festival’s conclusion. The genitive tēs heortēs attaches to tē megalē, identifying this “great” day as belonging to the feast.
