Exegesis
This is localized by the prepositional phrase en tais hēmerais Nōe {ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Νῶε | en tais hēmérais Nōe} ‘in the days of Noah,’ where the dative plural hēmerais marks a temporal sphere.
The second temporal phrase en tais hēmerais tou huiou tou anthrōpou {ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | en tais hēmérais tou huioû tou anthrṓpou} ‘in the days of the Son of Man’ mirrors the earlier structure, with the genitives tou huiou tou anthrōpou tightly binding “Son” and “Man” into the Christological title. The repeated en tais hēmerais construction and the comparative kathos … houtōs pattern create a balanced parallelism that underlines the typological link between Noah’s days and the eschatological days associated with the Son of Man.
