HO-tan de EE-dê-te to BDE-lyg-ma tês e-rê-mô-se-ôs he-stê-KO-ta HO-pou ou DEI ho a-na-gi-NŌ-skon no-EI-tō TO-te hoi en têi i-ou-dai-A pheu-GE-tō-san eis ta O-rê
Exegesis
The temporal adverb tote {τότε | tó-te} marks the resulting action in sequence: the main imperative clause hoi en tē Ioudaia pheugetōsan eis ta orē {οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη | hoi en tē̂ I-ou-daí-a pheu-gé-tō-san eis tà ó-rē}. Here, hoi with the prepositional phrase en tē Ioudaia forms a substantive group, “those in Judea,” and pheugetōsan, a third person plural imperative, issues a collective command. The prepositional phrase eis ta orē specifies the direction of flight, mountains conventionally functioning as places of refuge in biblical narrative. The overall syntactic flow moves from an unspecified future sign, to interpretive reflection, to urgent practical response, which guided the choice to preserve the temporal sequence and the parenthetical warning in both English renderings.
Root and etymology
menomu–epsilon–nu–omega
“to remain, stay, continue”
In context — Mark 13:14
But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let the one who reads understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
