Exegesis

The following construction ap’ akrou ges heos akrou ouranou {ἀπʼ ἄκρου γῆς ἕως ἄκρου οὐρανοῦ | ap á-krou gês hé-ōs á-krou ou-ra-noû} links two parallel genitival phrases with heos ‘as far as’, creating a merism (earth–heaven) that conveys totality: from the extremity of the earthly realm to the extremity of the heavenly. In translation, the coordination of futures is preserved with repeated “will,” and the merism is rendered as “from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven” to maintain both the parallelism and the sense of exhaustive inclusion.
