Luke 8:31

Context
8:31 And they began to beg 1  him not to order 2  them to depart into the abyss. 3 

1 tn One could also translate the imperfect tense here with a repetitive force like “begged him repeatedly.”

2 tn Or “command.”

3 tn This word, ἄβυσσος (abusso"), is a term for the place where the dead await the judgment. It also could hold hostile spirits according to Jewish belief (Jub. 5:6-7; 1 En. 10:4-6; 18:11-16).
