{A spirit of stupor} (pneuma katanuxe(9373)). The quotation is
a combination of De 19:4 Isa 29:10 6:9f . This phrase is from
Isa 29:10 . Katanuxis is a late and rare word from
katanuss(935c), to prick or stick ( Ac 2:37 ), in LXX, here only in
N.T., one example in _Pelagia-Legende_. The torpor seems the
result of too much sensation, dulled by incitement into apathy.
{That they should not see} ( ou m(8820)blepein). Genitive articular
infinitive of negative purpose. {That they should not hear} ( ou
m(8820)akouein). So here also. See Stephen's speech ( Ac 7:51f. ).
