Exegesis
The second aorist participle kataseisas {κατασείσας | kataseísas} ‘having motioned’ is coordinated with anastas, forming a participial chain that presents prior actions leading up to the main finite verb eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} ‘he said’.
In context — Acts 13:16
Then Paul stood up and, motioning with his hand, he said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God , listen .”
