# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
The story shifts away from Cornelius to tell us what God is doing with to Peter.
|
|
|
|
# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Here the word "they" refers to Cornelius' two servants and the soldier under Cornelius' command. (See: [Acts 10:7](./07.md))
|
|
|
|
# about the sixth hour
|
|
|
|
"around noon"
|
|
|
|
# up upon the housetop
|
|
|
|
The roofs of the houses were flat, and people often did many different activities on them.
|
|
|
|
# while the people were cooking some food
|
|
|
|
"before the people finished cooking the food"
|
|
|
|
# he was given a vision
|
|
|
|
"God gave him a vision" or "he saw a vision" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# he saw the sky open
|
|
|
|
This was the beginning of Peter's vision. It can be a new sentence.
|
|
|
|
# something like a large sheet ... four corners
|
|
|
|
The container holding the animals had the appearance of a large square piece of cloth.
|
|
|
|
# let down by its four corners
|
|
|
|
"with its four corners suspended" or "with its four corners higher than the rest of it"
|
|
|
|
# all kinds of four-footed animals ... birds of the sky
|
|
|
|
From Peter's response in the next verse, it can be implied that the law of Moses commanded the Jews not to eat some of them. AT: "animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
