Exegesis

The repetition of anoikodomeso underscores the assurance of rebuilding, and the concluding future verb anorthoso auten {ἀνορθώσω αὐτήν | a-nor-THŌ-sō au-TĒN} ‘I will raise it up’ shifts to the image of setting the structure upright, completing the restoration motif. The linked kai conjunctions and successive future verbs convey a rhythmic prophetic assurance of thorough renewal.

In contextActs 15:16

After these things I will return , and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up.
