Exegesis
The verb idēte {ἴδητε | í-dē-te} in the aorist active subjunctive second person plural expresses a first-class conditional protasis meaning 'whenever you see.' Its direct object is the noun phrase to bdelygma tēs erēmōseōs {τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως | tò bdé-ly-gma tês erēmṓ-se-ōs} 'the abomination of desolation,' with the genitive tēs erēmōseōs specifying the destructive character.
