Exegesis
The dative idíā geneâ {ἰδίᾳ γενεᾷ | idíā geneâ} ‘in his own generation’ defines the sphere of service, and the dative tē̂ tou theoû boulē {τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ βουλῇ | tē̂ tou theoû boulê} ‘purpose of God’ functions as a dative of standard emphasizing alignment with divine counsel.
In context — Acts 13:36
