Exegesis
The fronting of the noun phrase khásma méga {χάσμα μέγα | khá-sma mé-ga} before the perfect passive verb estēríktai {ἐστήρικται | es-tē-rík-tai} creates emphasis on the enduring, established barrier.
In context — Luke 16:26
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross from here to you are not able, and neither can anyone cross from there to us.
