Notes: It is generally a mistake to render literally the expression τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον as in RV GAL 4:5 · LV GAL 4:5 · Read together GAL 4:5, because ‘those who are under the Law’ may simply mean ‘people who act illegally.’

Sense 3: by

Semantic entry: 90.1

Semantic domains: Case

Subdomains: Agent, Personal or Nonpersonal, Causative or Immediate, Direct or Indirect

Definition: (with the genitive) a marker of agent or force, whether person or event

For example, RV MRK 1:13 · LV MRK 1:13 · Read together MRK 1:13 may be restructured as ‘Satan tempted Jesus when Jesus was in the desert for forty days.’
