Exegesis
This noun is specified by the genitive chain ton pateron hymon {τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν | tôn pa-tér-ōn hy-môn} “of your fathers,” a possessive genitive construction identifying the measure as belonging to (and already begun by) their forebears. Syntactically, the brief clause places the imperative and its object at the center, with the emphatic “you” and the genitive descriptor heightening the sense of culminating inherited sin. In translation, the imperative is preserved to retain the sharpness of the indictment, and the genitive is rendered with “of your fathers/ancestors” to reflect the ancestral continuity implied in the Greek structure.
In context — Matthew 23:32
And you —fill up, then, the measure of your fathers .
