Footnotes

  1. 46 Grk “After these things.”
  2. 47 The first person pronoun I refers to God and his activity. It is God who is doing this.
  3. 48 Or more generally, “dwelling”; perhaps, “royal tent.” According to σκηνή the word can mean “tent” or “hut,” or more generally “lodging” or “dwelling.” In this verse (a quotation from Amos 9:11) refers this to David’s ruined kingdom; it is possibly an allusion to a king’s tent (a royal tent). God is at work to reestablish David’s line (Acts 2:30–36; 13:32–39).
  4. 49 ἀνορθόω places this verb under the meaning “to build someth. up again after it has fallen, rebuild, restore,” but since ἀνοικοδομέω (anoikodomeō, “rebuild”) has occurred twice in this verse already, “restore” is used here.
