rwp@Hebrews:6:4 @{As touching those who were once enlightened} (\tous hapax phtisthentas\). First aorist passive articular participle (the once for all enlightened) of \photiz\, old and common verb (from \phs\) as in kjv@Luke:11:36|. The metaphorical sense here (cf. kjv@John:1:9; kjv@Ephesians:1:18; kjv@Hebrews:10:32|) occurs in Polybius and Epictetus. The accusative case is due to \anakainizein\ in verse 6|. \Hapax\ here is "once for all," not once upon a time (\pote\) and occurs again (9:7,26,27,28; 12:26,27|). {Tasted of the heavenly gift} (\geusamenous ts dreas ts epouraniou\). First aorist middle participle of \geu\, old verb once with accusative (verse 5|, \kalon rma, dunameis\), usually with genitive (Hebrews:2:9|) as here. {Partakers of the Holy Ghost} (\metochous pneumatos hagiou\). See 3:14| for \metochoi\. These are all given as actual spiritual experiences. {And then fell away} (\kai parapesontas\). No "then" here, though the second aorist (effective) active participle of \parapipt\, old verb to fall beside (aside), means that. Only here in N.T. In Gal 5:4| we have \ts charitos exepesate\ (ye fell out of grace, to law, Paul means).
