Exegesis
The first hina-clause, hina ploiarion proskarterē autō {ἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ αὐτῷ | hína plo-i-á-ri-on pros-kar-te-rḗ au-tô}, uses the present subjunctive proskarterē to portray continuous readiness of the small boat at His disposal, expressing purpose.
A second hina-clause, hina mē thlibōsin auton {ἵνα μὴ θλίβωσιν αὐτόν | hína mḕ thlí-bō-sin au-tón}, combines hina with the negative mē and the present subjunctive thlibōsin to express the intended prevention of ongoing pressing or crushing by the people. English renders both hina-clauses as purpose structures (“Have … kept ready” and “so that … might not crush”) to preserve the sequence of intention: first provision, then protection.
In context — Mark 3:9
And He said to His disciples, “Have a small boat kept ready for Him because of the crowd , so that they might not crush Him.”
