Headword: *megalei=a
Adler number: mu,357
Translated headword: magnificent [things]
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] lofty [ones], great [ones]. "What magnificent things you have done for me, o God."
Greek Original:
*megalei=a: u(yhla/, mega/la. a(\ e)poi/hsa/s moi megalei=a o( qeo/s.
Notes:
Theodoret (PG 80, 1425c) on Psalm 70:19-20 LXX (= 71:19-20 RSV): o( qeo/s, e(/ws u(yi/stwn a(\ e)poi/hsas megalei=a; o( qeo/s, ti/s o(/moio/s soi?. ("O God, even to the highest places what magnificent things you have done; O God, who is like you?"). However, the text here does not match perfectly, and requires including o( qeo/s from the second line. Perhaps Theodoret was also thinking of Luke 1.48-50 (= Odae 9.48-50 LXX): i)dou\ ga\r a)po\ tou= nu=n makariou=si/n me pa=sai ai( geneai/, o(/ti e)poi/hse/n moi megalei=a o( dunato/s ("Look, for from now on all the generations will count me blessed, because the Lord has done magnificent things for me"). This is Mary's song of praise, the "Magnificat".
