Exegesis
The conditional clause ean me baptisōntai {ἐὰν μὴ βαπτίσωνται | eán mḗ baptísōntai} with the aorist middle subjunctive expresses a general stipulation, leading to the negative result ouk esthiousin {οὐκ ἐσθίουσιν | ouk esthíōsin} “they do not eat.”
In context — Mark 7:4
And from the market, if they do not wash , they do not eat; and there are many other things that they have received to observe, such as the washings of cups , pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.
