The Second Book of Maccabees, Chapter 4ΜΑΚΚΑΒΑΙΩΝ Β′ Δ′

Each verse opens with the running Greek, an English translation, and a discourse note (its connective, relation, and role in the argument). Below follows the word-by-word breakdown in six tiers: gloss, case (color), parsing, syntax, semantic force, and a lexical note.

Case Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative Verb (no case) Indeclinable

Discourse notes head each verse: relation · connective · clause-flow. Indentation marks prominence — flush-left = main line of argument; indented = supporting / subordinate material.

Theme

Bought priesthood, Hellenizing ambition, and corruption drive Jerusalem into sacrilege and bloodguilt.

Translation & textual notes

The moral and political collapse that follows the displacement of Onias is traced here through purchased priesthood, aggressive Hellenization, temple plunder, judicial corruption, and the preservation of Menelaus through royal greed. Translation and annotation here follow the Greek text of the LXX chapter as transmitted in the CATSS-derived scaffold, but the explanatory fields have been fully rewritten for this local scholarly pass.

But the aforementioned Simon, having become the informer against the funds and the fatherland, kept slandering Onias, as though he himself had incited Heliodorus and had become the architect of the troubles.
