Exegesis
Within this relative clause, the impersonal verb edei {ἔδει | É-dei} ‘it was necessary’ governs the complementary infinitive thuesthai {θύεσθαι | THÚ-es-thai} ‘to be sacrificed’, with to pascha {τὸ πάσχα | to PÁS-kha} as the accusative subject of the infinitive. This impersonal construction expresses a strong sense of obligation grounded in established regulation, here the Passover legislation. English reproduces the Greek structure with a main clause (“Then the day … came/arrived”) followed by a temporal relative clause (“on which/when it was necessary …”), preserving both the temporal precision and the sense of required ritual action.
Root and etymology
