Exegesis
The adversative de {δὲ | dè} ‘but’ contrasts with the subsequent verb synagagete {συναγάγετε | sy-na-ga-gé-te} ‘gather together’ applied to the siton {σῖτον | sí-ton} ‘wheat’, finalized by eis tēn apothēkēn mou {εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην μου | eîs tḗn a-po-thḗ-kēn mou} ‘into my barn’, which denotes preservation and ownership. The parallel imperatives emphasize the decisive separation enacted at the appointed time.
