Exegesis
The dative phrase anthropo emporo {ἀνθρώπῳ ἐμπόρῳ | an-thrṓ-pōi em-pó-rōi} functions as the standard of comparison, “to a man, a merchant,” where emporo is appositional to anthropo and specifies the man’s role.
In context — Matthew 13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man, a merchant , seeking beautiful pearls.
