Exegesis
The relative clause hos epoiēsen {ὃς ἐποίησεν | hos e-poí-ē-sen} ‘who made’ elaborates the identity of this God as Creator, followed by a coordinated series—ton ouranon, kai tēn gēn, kai tēn thalassan, kai panta ta en autois {τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς | tón ouranòn kaì tēn gēn kaì tēn thálassan kaì pánta tá en autoîs}.
In context — Acts 14:15
And they said, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are humans of like nature with you, bringing good news to you so that you turn from these vain things to the living God , who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them.”
