Exegesis
The opening sequence aron to son kai hypage {ἆρον τὸ σόν καὶ ὕπαγε | â-ron tò són kaí hý-pa-ge} combines an aorist imperative followed by a present imperative, creating an urgent, completed action (“take”) alongside an ongoing motion (“go”), which together convey a decisive dismissal of the addressee. The noun phrase to son functions as a substantivized possessive construction, literally “the yours,” which naturally becomes “what is yours” in English to capture the idea of due possession.
Root and etymology
dikedelta–iota–kappa–eta
