{Rejoiced} ((8867)alliasato). First aorist middle indicative
of agalliaomai, a word of Hellenistic coinage from agallomai,
to rejoice. {To see} (hina id(8869)). Sub-final use of hina and
second aorist active subjunctive of hora(935c). This joy of Abraham
is referred to in Heb 11:13 (saluting, aspasamenoi, the
promises from afar). There was a Jewish tradition that Abraham
saw the whole history of his descendants in the vision of Ge
15:6f. , but that is not necessary here. He did look for and
welcome the Messianic time, "my day" ( (886e) h(886d)eran t(886e) em(886e)).
"He saw it, and was glad" (eiden kai echar(885c)). Second aorist
active indicative of hora(935c) and second aorist passive indicative
of chair(935c). Ye see it and are angry!
