Exegesis
The causal clause dia to me echein rhizan {διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν | di-á to mē é-khein rhí-zan} “because of not having root” employs the articular infinitive with the neuter article to to express cause. This Greek progression from temporal setting through result to explicit cause is mirrored in English by using a temporal phrase (“when/as soon as”), passive verb forms for the aorists, and “because” to introduce the articular infinitive clause.
In context — Matthew 13:6
But when the sun had risen, it was scorched, and because it had no root , it withered.
