rwp @John:7:37 @{Now on the last day } (\en de t ˆi eschat ˆi h ˆmer ƒi \). The eighth day which was "an holy convocation ," kept as a Sabbath (Leviticus:33:36 |), apparently observed as a memorial of the entrance into Canaan , hence "the great day of the feast " (\t ˆi megal ˆi t ˆs heort ˆs \). {Stood and cried } (\hist ˆkei kai ekrasen \). Past perfect active of \hist ˆmi \ used as imperfect and intransitive and first aorist active of \kraz “\. Picture Jesus standing (linear ) and suddenly crying out (punctiliar ). {If any man thirst } (\ean tis dips ƒi \). Third class condition with \ean \ and present active subjunctive of \dipsa “\, "if any one is thirsty ." On each of the seven preceding days water was drawn in a golden pitcher from the pool of Siloam and carried in procession to the temple and offered by the priests as the singers chanted strkjv @Isaiah:12:3 |: "With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation ." "It is uncertain whether the libations were made upon the eighth day . If they were not made , the significant cessation of the striking rite on this one day of the feast would give a still more fitting occasion for the words " (Westcott ).
