Exegesis

The verse opens with a temporal clause introduced by the prepositional phrase aph hou an egerthē ho oikodespotes {ἀφʼ οὗ ἂν ἐγερθῇ ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης | aph hoû án egerthē ho oikodespotes} ‘from the time when the master of the house may rise,’ where the genitive relative hou {οὗ | hoû} ‘from which’ combines with aph {ἀφʼ | aph} ‘from’ and the particle an {ἂν | án} ‘ever’ plus the aorist subjunctive egerthē {ἐγερθῇ | egerthē} ‘he may rise,’ marking an indefinite future point.
