Exegesis
The second imperative dote governs a dative recipient, to echonti {τῷ ἔχοντι | tô é-khon-ti}, expanded by the object phrase tas deka mnas {τὰς δέκα μνᾶς | tàs dé-ka mnâs}, “the ten minas,” with the participle echonti “having” functioning substantivally to describe “the one who has.” English rendering shifts the participial construction into a relative clause (“the one who has”) to maintain natural flow while preserving the focus on possession and the reallocation of resources to the already productive servant.
