Exegesis

Coordination with kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces a second aorist main verb, ōneidisen {ὠνείδισεν | ō-neí-di-sen}, shifting the focus from appearance to rebuke.

The objects of this rebuke form a tightly linked accusative pair: tēn apistian autōn kai sklērokardian {τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν καὶ σκληροκαρδίαν | tḕn a-pi-stí-an au-tôn kaí sklē-ro-kar-dí-an}, “their unbelief and hardness of heart,” presenting inner resistance in both cognitive and volitional dimensions.
