Exegesis
The first clause, hē opōra sou tēs epithymias tēs psuchēs apēlthen apo sou {ἡ ὀπώρα σου τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ | hē opṓra sou tēs epithymías tēs psychês apêlthen apó sou}, places the subject ‘the fruit’ before a genitive chain ‘of your desire of the soul’, intensifying the idea of deeply cherished longings. The verb apēlthen with apo sou portrays this as a completed departure.
