Sense 2: to begin to shout, to shout

Semantic entry: 33.85

Semantic domains: Communication

Subdomains: Speak, Talk

Definition: to suddenly break out into shouting

Notes: In RV GAL 4:27 · LV GAL 4:27 · Read together GAL 4:27 the combination ῥῆξον καὶ βόησον may be analyzed either as two expressions for shouting, for example, ‘break into shouting and shout,’ or ῥῆξον may function primarily as an aspectual qualifier of βόησον, so that the meaning of the expression ῥῆξον καὶ βόησον may be ‘break into shouting’ or ‘begin to shout,’ but the beginning of shouting would imply considerable energy, spontaneity, and suddenness. For this interpretation of ῥήγνυμι in RV GAL 4:27 · LV GAL 4:27 · Read together GAL 4:27, see 68.81: ῥήγνυμι.
