Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Acts 2:26

Rejoiced [η γ α λ λ ι α σ α τ ο]. Rev., was glad. See on 1 Peter 1:6.

Shall rest [κ α τ α σ κ η ν ω σ ε ι]. See on nests, Matthew 8:20. Better, as Rev., dwell. Lit., dwell in a tent or tabernacle. Rendered lodge, Matthew 8:32; Mark 4:32; Luke 8:19. It is a beautiful metaphor. My flesh shall encamp on hope; pitch its tent there to rest through the night of death, until the morning of resurrection.

In hope [ε π ε λ π ι σ ι]. Lit., on hope : resting on the hope of resurrection; his body being poetically conceived as hoping.
