Exegesis
The adverb hama {ἅμα | há-ma} “together” plus the dative pronoun autois {αὐτοῖς | au-toîs} “with them” precedes and thus highlights the unintended association of the wheat with the weeds, before the final object ton siton {τὸν σῖτον | ton sî-ton} “the wheat” closes the sentence. In translation, the feared-result construction with mepote and the subjunctive is represented in formal style by “lest while you are gathering... you might uproot,” retaining the preventative nuance, while the dynamic rendering uses “because if... you might also pull up” to convey the same logical relationship in contemporary idiom.
