This article resolves the occurrences of the thirteen NT verbs of “giving” into seven usages and considers the interpretation and translation of the verbs with each usage. The introductory discussion develops the semantic and syntactic criteria for identifying verbal usages and the distinguishing characteristics of verbs of “giving”. The study identifies the semantic, syntactic, and lexical properties of all occurrences of each verb with each usage, clarifies potential difficulties for interpretation, and proposes procedures for translation that accommodate the interpretive constraints with each usage. The concluding discussion distinguishes the function of complements with the same lexical realizations in different usages.

The Interpretation and Translation of Verbs of "Giving" in the New Testament 115 Knowing from the centurion, he granted [[for Joseph]] the corpse [[which became Joseph’s]] to Joseph (Mark 15,45) γνοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ κεντυρίωνος ἐδωρήσατο τὸ πτῶμα τῷ 'Ιωσήφ The P/εἰς [–an] Goal appears on 31 occasions:10 They will give [[for you]] a good measure [[which will become yours]] … into your lap (Luke 6,38c) μέτρον καλὸν … δώσουσιν εἰς τὸν κόλπον ὑμῶν The P/ἐπί [–an] realization appears on three occasions with δίδωμι.11 In the following example, the retrieval of the +animate Benefactive of τράπεζα (table) relies on the interpreter’s familiarity with its conventional use to designate a banker’s table in the context of a discussion of ἀργύριον (money, silver): Why didn’t you give [[for a banker]] my money [[which would become the banker’s]] onto a table ((of a banker))? (Luke 19,23) διὰ τί οὐκ ἔδωκάς μου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τράπεζαν; In the remaining 57 occurrences of the verbs with this usage, the Goal is a definite null complement (DNC):12 22,21; Mark 12,17; Luke 4,20; 9,42; 10,35; 20,25; Rom 2,6; 12,17; 13,7; 1 Cor 7,3a; 1 Thes 5,15; 1 Tim 5,4; 2 Tim 4,8.14; Heb 12,11; 1 Pet 4,5; Rev 18,6; 22,12; διαδίδωμι, Luke 18,22; John 6,11; Acts 4,35; δωρέομαι, Mark 15,45; 2 Pet 1,3.4; ἐκδίδομαι, Matt 21,33.41; Mark 12,1; Luke 20,9; ἐπιδίδωμι, Matt 7,9.10; Luke 4,17; 11,11.12; 24,30.42; μεταδίδωμι, Luke 3,11; Rom 1,11; Eph 4,28; 1 Thess 2,8; παραδίδωμι, Matt 5,25; 11,27; 18,34; 20,18.19; 25,14.20.22; 26,15; 27,2; Mark 10,33a.33b; 14,10; 15,1; Luke 1,2; 4,6; 10,22; 12,58; 18,32; 22,4.6; John 18,30.35.36; 19,11.16; Acts 6,14; 12,4; 27,1; 1 Cor 5,5; 11,2.23a; 15,3.24; 1 Tim 1,20; 1 Pet 2,23; 2 Pet 2,21; Jude 3; προδίδωμι, Matt 20,18; Mark 10,33a; Luke 18,32; Rom 11,35; and χαρίζομαι, Acts 3,14; 25,11; 27,24; Rom 8,32; 1 Cor 2,12; Gal 3,18; Phil 1,29; 2,9; Phlm 22. 10 P/εἰς [–an] Goal: ἀποδίδομια, Acts 7,9; δίδωμι, Luke 6,38c; 15,22; John 13,3; Acts 19,31; Heb 8,10; and παραδίδωμι, Matt 10,17.21; 17,22; 24,9; 26,45; Mark 9,31; 13,9.12; 14,41; Luke 9,44; 21,12; 24,7.20; Acts 8,3; 14,26; 21,11; 22,4; 28,17; Rom 1,24.26.28; 6,17; 2 Cor 4,11; Eph 4,19; 2 Pet 2,4. 11 P/ἐπί [–an] Goal: δίδωμι, Luke 19,23; Heb 10,16; Rev 8,3b. 12 DNC Goal: ἀποδίδομαι, Heb 12,16; ἀποδίδωμι, Matt 5,26; 18,25a.25b.28; 27,58; 30,34; Luke 7,42; 12,59; 16,2; 19,8; Acts 19,40; Heb 13,17; 1 Pet 3,9; Rev 18,6b; δίδωμι, Matt 10,8; 14,9; 19,7; 20,23; 27,10; Mark 10,40; 12,14b.14c; Luke 2,24 12,33; John 1,17; 3,16.34; 6,51; 14,27b; Acts 8,18; 13,20; 1 Cor 7,25; 2 Cor 8,10; 10,8; 2 Thes 2,16; Jas 4,6a; 5,18; ἐπιδίδωμι, Acts 15,30; 27,15; μεταδίδωμι, Rom 12,8; παραδίδωμι, Matt 10,19; 26,2.16.48; 27,18.26; Mark 13,11; 14,11.44; 15,10.15; Luke 21,16; John 19,30; Acts 15,40; Rom 4,25; and χαρίζομαι, Acts 25,16.
