Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis ton topon touton {εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον | eis tòn tó-pon toû-ton} ‘into this place’ specifies the goal, and the descriptive genitive tēs basanou {τῆς βασάνου | tēs ba-sá-nou} ‘of torment’ defines its character. The layered double-purpose structure underscores the speaker’s strategy to secure a solemn warning that will prevent his brothers from suffering the same fate.
