This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Tempered together (συνέκρασεν)
Only here and Heb 4:2. Lit., mixed together. Here the idea of mutual adjustment is added to that of mingling. Compare Plato on God's creating the soul and body. “He made her out of the following elements, and on this manner. Of the unchangeable and indivisible, and also of the divisible and corporeal He made (ξυνεκεράσατο compounded) a third sort of intermediate essence, partaking of the same and of the other, or diverse” (see the whole passage, “Timaeus,” 35).
