Let them slip Rather, lest we slip past them, in carelessness and inattention. The Greek verb really signifies to flow or glide by, as a stream of water. It is really a neuter verb, and yet is here used in the subjunctive passive, so as to read literally, lest we be flowed (or glided) past them. Similar is the Septuagint phrase in Proverbs 3:2, rendered freely, “My son, let them not depart from thine eyes.”
