Exegesis
Two parallel indefinite relative clauses follow: kaí hò eàn dḗ-sēs {καὶ ὃ ἐὰν δήσῃς | kaí hò eàn dḗ-sēs} ‘and whatever you bind’ and kaí hò eàn lý-sēs {καὶ ὃ ἐὰν λύσῃς | kaí hò eàn lý-sēs} ‘and whatever you loose’, each combining the relative pronoun hò {ὃ | hò} ‘whatever’, the conditional particle eàn {ἐὰν | eàn} ‘if/whenever’, and an aorist subjunctive verb to express general authority.
In context — Matthew 16:19
I will entrust to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in the heavens.
