rwp @John:2:16 @{Take these things hence } (\Arate tauta enteuthen \). First aorist active imperative of \air “\. Probably the doves were in baskets or cages and so had to be taken out by the traders . {Make not my Father 's house a house of merchandise } (\m ˆ poieite ton oikon tou patros mou oikon emporiou \). "Stop making ," it means , \m ˆ\ and the present active imperative . They had made it a market-house (\emporiou \, here only in N .T ., old word from \emporos \, merchant , one who goes on a journey for traffic , a drummer ). Note the clear-cut Messianic claim here (My Father as in strkjv @Luke:2:49 |). Jerome says : "A certain fiery and starry light shone from his eyes and the majesty of Godhead gleamed in His face ."
