professionalism, commitment to active learning, participation in this course, and integrity in your

Using the work of another student or allowing work to be used by another student jeopardizes
not only the teacher-student relationship but also the student’s academic standing. Lessons may
be discussed with other students, tutors may help to guide a student’s work, and textbooks,
encyclopedias and other resource materials may be used for additional assistance, but the actual
response must be the student’s own work.
Exams must be completed in the presence of an approved supervisor without the assistance of
books, notes, devices or outside help unless otherwise specified in the exam directions. The
student should have no access to the exam either before or after it is taken. A student who gives
information to another student to be used in a dishonest way is equally guilty of dishonesty.
Any violation of this policy will be taken before the Higher Education Academic and Curriculum
Committee for appropriate punitive action.

o For the Exegetical Journal 4, choose a text from a narrative section in the Septuagint (LXX).
o Observation: Do not choose a text you may have used for an Exegetical Journal in Intermediate Greek.
Step 2: Work on your text with the Exegetical Table
- You can find a template for the Exegetical Journals on LearningHub. In the first section on the main page of the course’s site on LearningHub, in the section titled Resources for the Exegetical Journals, download the file Template for Exegetical Journals for Advanced Greek.docx.
- Word Identification: Identify each word in your text. - Parsing: Parse each word in your text. - Literal Translation: Provide a literal translation for each word in your text. - Syntax Analysis:
o As far as possible, classify each word in your text based on the categories covered in Intermediate Greek and the categories covered in this course (Advanced Greek) up to the Module when the corresponding Exegetical Journal is due. That is:
For the Exegetical Journal 1, do a syntax analysis of each word in your text as far as it is possible with the material covered in Wallace’s book from Intermediate Greek up to Module 4 of this course (Advanced Greek);
For the Exegetical Journal 2, do a syntax analysis of each word in your

- Clauses: o Divide your Greek text into clauses. o Classify each clause. o Increase the indentation of Dependent Clauses (add more space on the left).
- Conditional Sentence(s) o If your text has at least one conditional sentence, then:
Include the Greek text according to the columns of protasis and apodosis; If there are more than one conditional sentence, use a new line for each
conditional sentence; Classify every conditional sentence in the text.
o If there is no conditional sentence in your text, just delete this section from your Exegetical Table.
- Final Translation: Provide a final translation for your text.
Step 3: Diagram of the Text
- Diagram your text and include the diagram in this section.
Step 4: Reflection
- Now that the Exegetical Table for your text is done, write a Reflection section. - Length:
o Minimum length: 350 words o Maximum length: 700 words
- Content: o There should be a clear connection between the Exegetical Table and the
Reflection section. o In your reflection, draw conclusions and elaborate on ideas related to the syntax
of the Greek text. There should be at least one idea in the Reflection section related to syntax, a conditional sentence, or clauses.
o You may also find additional interesting points in parsing or the words used.
Step 5: Bibliography
- These exegetical journals are not to be research papers. You do not need to consult commentaries, articles, or monographs.
- However, if you do consult a resource, list it under the Bibliography section. - For the style, it is recommended that you use either Turabian or SBL.

Step 7: Save two copies: PDF and Word Document

YOUR NAME o Example: Exegetical Journal 1 for Advanced Greek by John Smith
Step 8: Submit your Exegetical Journal
- Submit your Exegetical Journal on LearningHub. - Upload the PDF version of your assignment. Also upload the Word Document version of
your assignment.
Step 9: Suggestion
- Once you are done with your assignment, consider using it to prepare a message to share with others. Hopefully, this assignment has helped you understand this specific text a little better. You might have the chance of using the knowledge acquired through this process to minister to someone. For example, this assignment might help you in the preparation of a sermon.
- Consider going through a similar process with other passages. This might be greatly useful not only in the process of learning the Greek language, but also of learning more of God’s wonderful messages for us.
