Exegesis
The direct object of apheis is the phrase ten oikian autou {τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ | tḕn oi-kí-an au-toû}, emphasizing his own household.
The participle dous governs a complex dative structure: tois doulois autou {τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ | toîs doû-lois au-toû} as recipients, with ten exousian {τὴν ἐξουσίαν | tḕn ex-ou-sí-an} as the object bestowed.
The dative hekastō {ἑκάστῳ | he-kás-tō} with to ergon autou {τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ | tò ér-gon au-toû} details individual responsibility, assigning a distinct task to each servant.
In context — Mark 13:34
Just like a man traveling abroad, who left his own house and gave authority to his servants, to each his work , and to the doorkeeper he commanded that he should keep watch .
