The prepositions ἐκ and πρός in the New Testament. Two special cases: Rom 1,4 and Mk 10,5
Abstract
The biblical use of the prepositions ἐκ and πρός provides examples in which the meaning of a preposition is open to different interpretations, which makes necessary the adoption of a methodological approach mainly semantic (without excluding the morphosyntactic aspect). Furthermore, the analysis of the prepositions carried out by the main dictionaries devoted to classical Greek and New Testament Greek, is insufficient from the semantic point of view. However, our work begins with the application of the methodology of semantic analysis followed by the drafting of the Greek-Spanish Dictionary of the New Testament (DGENT) and the analysis of ἐκ in Rom 1,4, a passage where the temporal and causal values of the morpholexeme are confused with origin or instrumental values. Likewise, an analysis of the meaning of πρός will be carried out in Mk 10,5, where there is confusion between the causal value, the correspondence value and the relationship value of the morpholexeme.
