Exegesis
The articular infinitive tou dounai autois tēn trophēn en kairō {τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν ἐν καιρῷ} expresses the purpose of “to give them the food at season,” with the dative kairō {καιρῷ} marking the appropriate time. English word order is adjusted for clarity but preserves the original’s rhetorical force and structure.
In context — Matthew 24:45
Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom the master has appointed over his household to provide them food at the appointed season ?
