ἐναντίον

Strong’s: G1726

Associated OET lemmas: ἐναντίον

Other spellings: τοὐναντίον

Notes: There are no doubt certain slight differences of meaning in this series (83.33: ἔμπροσθεν / 83.33: ἔναντι / 83.33: ἐναντίον / 83.33: ἐνώπιον / 83.33: κατενώπιον / 83.33: πρό / 83.33: πρόσωπον), but such distinctions cannot be readily determined from existing contexts.; There are undoubtedly certain subtle distinctions of meaning associated with the various markers in 90.20: ἔμπροσθεν / 90.20: ἔναντι / 90.20: ἐναντίον / 90.20: ἐνώπιον / 90.20: κατέναντι / 90.20: κατενώπιον / 90.20: παρά / 90.20: πρός, but it is impossible to determine those differences on the basis of existing contexts.
