Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links to a temporal clause introduced by hôs {ὡς | hôs} ‘as,’ with the participle erchómenos {ἐρχόμενος | erchómenos} ‘coming’ connecting closely to the aorist verb enggisen {ἤγγισεν | ênggisen} ‘drew near,’ to highlight the completed approach.
In context — Luke 15:25
Now his elder son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing .
