STRONGS G2713:
κατέναντι, adverb; not found in secular authors (Winers Grammar, 102 (97)); in the Sept. mostly for נֶגֶד, לְנֶגֶד, לִפְנֵי (see ἔναντι and ἀπέναντι); properly, over against, opposite, before: followed by the genitive (Buttmann, 319 (273); cf. Winer's Grammar, § 54,6), Mark 11:2; Mark 12:41 (Tr text WH marginal reading ἀπέναντι); Mark 13:3, and L T Tr WIt in Matthew 21:2; L Tr WH text also in Matthew 27:24; ἡ κατέναντι κώμη, the village opposite, Luke 19:30. Metaphorically, with the genitive of person, belove one i. e. he being judge (see ἐνώπιον (especially 2 e. and 1 c.)): τοῦ Θεοῦ, Romans 4:17 (which, by a kind of attraction somewhat rare, is to be resolved κατέναντι Θεοῦ, ᾧ ἐπίστευσε, who is the father of us all according to the judgment and appointment of God, whom he believed, the words καθώς... τέθεικά forming a parenthesis; cf. Fritzsche at the passage; (Buttmann, 287 (247); but others resolve it, κατέναντι τοῦ Θεοῦ κατέναντι οὗ ἐπίστευσε, cf. Meyer (per contra edition Weiss) at the passage; Winers Grammar, 164 (155))); or, he being witness (in the sight of): τοῦ Θεοῦ, L T Tr WH in 2 Corinthians 2:17 and 2 Corinthians 12:19.
