Exegesis
The prepositional phrase enopion tōn angelōn {ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων | enṓpion tōn angélōn} uses a genitive complement after the preposition to denote standing “in the presence of” God’s heavenly messengers, further specified by the genitive tou theou {τοῦ θεοῦ | toû theoû}.
In context — Luke 15:10
In the same way, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who is repenting.
