SIBI-P1 Translation G683-03

he pushed away from himself

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple completed action), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive), indicative mood (declarative), 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist indicative denotes a completed act, while the middle voice highlights the subject’s personal involvement or interest in the action. "Pushed away from himself" preserves the root sense of forceful removal (ὠθ-) combined with ἀπό (away from) and reflects the reflexive nuance of the middle voice.
