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.
Root and etymology
mnamu–nu–alpha
“mina, unit of weight or currency”
In context — Luke 19:24
And he said to those standing by, “Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas .”
