Exegesis

The prepositional phrase ek tēs oikias autou {ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ | ek tês oi-kí-as au-toû} specifies the source of removal, “out of his house,” with autou marking personal ownership. In English, the Greek third person imperatives are rendered either as an impersonal command (“let the one… not go down”) or, in more idiomatic form, as a second person directive addressing the hearers about such a person (“do not let him go down”), while preserving the urgent, immediate tone of flight without delay.
