Notes: There are no doubt certain subtle distinctions of meaning in this series of related expressions in 90.63: ἀπολαμβάνω / 90.63: ἐπιλαμβάνομαι / 90.63: λαμβάνω / 90.63: μεταλαμβάνω (ἀπολαμβάνω[e], ἐπιλαμβάνομαι[f], λαμβάνω[h], μεταλαμβάνω[b]), but it is difficult to determine the precise distinctions on the basis of existing contexts. As in the case of a number of verbs which mark an experiencer relation, an equivalent translation consists simply of a passive form of a verb related to the noun complement. For example, in the case of RV JHN 7:23 · LV JHN 7:23 · Read together JHN 7:23, one might very well translate ‘if a person is circumcised on the Sabbath.’
