However, Louw & Nida include Luke 8:41 under 33.315: âto ask a person to accept offered hospitality â âto invite.ââ But parakaleo does not mean invite here, but simply to urge, implore, or even beg someone to do something.
Graben is German for ditch or trench. The plural form is either graben or grabens. A graben is a valley with a distinct escarpment on each side caused by the displacement of a block of land downward. Graben often occur side-by-side with horsts. Horst and graben structures indicate tensional forces and crustal stretching.
Horsts and Grabens. A HORST is an elongated block bounded by parallel (normal, reverse, lateral) faults in such a way that it stands (above, below) the blocks on both sides. A GRABEN is a narrow block moved (upward, downward) between two (normal, reverse, lateral) faults. A special type of vertical fault is a thrust or overthrust fault. This is a reverse fault that has a fault plane that has a very low angle. Notice that this results in one of the exceptions to the law of superposition.
