Exegesis
Direct discourse is then introduced, beginning with the fronted dative noun Epithymia {Ἐπιθυμίᾳ | epithymíāi}, which functions as an adverbial dative of manner or means, intensifying the following aorist verb epethymesa {ἐπεθύμησα | epethýmēsa}. The idiomatic repetition “with desire I desired” (Epithymia epethymesa) is a Semitic-style expression of strong emotion, which the translation reflects either by retaining the repetition (formal) or by condensing it into “deeply longed” (dynamic).
