Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tō nomō {ἐν τῷ νόμῳ | en tôi nó-mō} specifies the sphere “in the law,” referring to the Mosaic Torah as the domain within which the hierarchy of commandments is being queried. Greek word order places the key noun and its modifier (entole megale) before the contextual prepositional phrase, highlighting the nature of the commandment itself before its location. In English, the clause is reshaped into a natural interrogative (“which commandment is greatest in the law” / “which one is the most important”) while preserving the focus on distinguishing a single preeminent command within the wider body of the law.
In context — Matthew 22:36
Teacher , which commandment is greatest in the law ?
