Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The meanings of ἐπιβάλλω[a] ({D:15.218}) and ἐπιρίπτω ({D:15.219}) parallel to a certain extent the distinction in βάλλω[a] ({D:15.215}) and ῥίπτω[a] ({D:15.217}) in that βάλλω[a] suggests a more deliberate action, while ῥίπτω[a] suggests an action characterized by being quicker, more energetic, and often somewhat more impetuous.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04100403700018'], 'Content': 'It would be possible to analyze the meaning of ἐπιβάλλω[c] as merely a matter of impact, but it is the evident action of the waves, not only in striking the boat but filling it with water, that would seem to justify setting up a separate meaning.'}, {'Caller': 3, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04200906200016'], 'Content': 'The phrases ἐπιβάλλω τὰς χεῖρας and ἐπιβάλλω τὴν χεῖρα ἐπί also occur with events, and as such focus attention on the beginning of an event, for example, οὐδεὶς ἐπιβαλὼν τὴν χεῖρα ἐπ᾽ ἄροτρον ‘no one puts his hand to the plow’ or ‘no one begins to plow’ {S:04200906200000}. A treatment of this meaning is in {D:68.6}.'}]

        LastEdited: 2021-06-18 08:38:27

        DefinitionShort: (a Semitic idiom, literally: one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back) to begin some activity requiring close attention but then to change one’s mind about proceeding

        Glosses: ['to start to do something and then to hesitate', 'to begin but have second thoughts about continuing']

        Comments: It is probably best to regard the phrase ἐπιβαλὼν τὴν χεῖρα ἐπ᾽ ἄροτρον καὶ βλέπων εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω as a part of a traditional saying referring to anyone who has second thoughts about undertaking some new or different enterprise, but the particular manner in which this is adapted to a statement concerning ‘the kingdom of God’ makes its strictly idiomatic structure somewhat doubtful.
