Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē hodō {ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ | en tê ho-dôi} locates the action spatially on the roadway that Jesus is traversing, creating a vivid picture of a makeshift carpet of garments. In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“as He was going / as He went”), the imperfect is expressed with progressive English aspect (“were spreading / laid”), and the word order is smoothed while preserving the emphasis on the communal, honoring action that accompanies Jesus’ procession.
Root and etymology
hodosomicron–delta–omicron–sigma
