Greek Commentary for Acts 7:46
Aorist middle (indirect) indicative, asked for himself (as a favour to himself). Cf. 2 Samuel 7:2. [source]
Like Psalm 132:5, but it was a house that David proposed to build (2 Samuel 7:2), not a tent (σκηνη skēnē) which already existed. Σκηνωμα Skēnōma here means a more permanent abode (οικον oikon house, in Acts 7:47), though from the same root as σκηνη skēnē f0). [source]

For this phrase see Matthew 9:15; Romans 11:13.Tabernacle (σκηνωματι skēnōmati). Old word, in literal sense in Deuteronomy 33:18 for the usual σκηνη skēnē (Peter‘s word at the Transfiguration, Mark 9:5), earliest use (in N.T. only here, 2 Peter 1:14; Acts 7:46 of the tabernacle of the covenant) in this metaphorical sense of life as a pilgrimage (1 Peter 1:1; 1 Peter 2:11), though Paul has σκηνος skēnos so in 2 Corinthians 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:4. Peter feels the nearness of death and the urgency upon him.To stir you up Present active infinitive of διεγειρω diegeirō late (Arist., Hippocr., Herodian, papyri), perfective Old word, from υπομιμνησκω hupomimnēskō (2 Peter 1:12), in N.T. only here, 2 Peter 3:1; 2 Timothy 1:5. “By way of reminding you.” [source]
