E-la-ben de PHO-bos PAN-tas KAI e-DO-ksha-zon ton the-ON LE-gon-tes HO-ti pro-PHÊ-tēs ME-gas ē-GER-thē en hê-MEEN KAI HO-ti e-pe-SKEP-sa-to ho the-OS ton la-ON au-TOU
Exegesis
The second hoti clause presents Epesképsato {Ἐπεσκέψατο | epesképsato} ‘visited’ in the middle voice to suggest intentional divine initiative, with ho theos {ὁ θεὸς | ho theòs} ‘God’ as explicit subject and ton laon autou {τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ | tòn laòn autoû} ‘His people’ as object, reinforcing the covenant relationship. The parallel structure of these two clauses ties prophetic revelation to divine visitation, which is preserved in the translations by maintaining both clauses and explicit divine reference.
