Exegesis
The following sequence of aorist imperatives poleson {πώλησον | pō-lḗ-son} ‘sell’ and diados {διάδος | di-á-dos} ‘distribute’ issues decisive, once-for-all commands, with the dative ptochois {πτωχοῖς | ptō-choîs} ‘to the poor’ indicating the beneficiaries of the action.
In context — Luke 18:22
When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack: Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor , and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow Me.”
