Exegesis
The coordinating dative hēmin {ἡμῖν | hē-mîn} aligns the human apostles with the Spirit in the decision, both governed by the complementary infinitive epitithesthai {ἐπιτίθεσθαι | e-pi-TÍ-the-sthai} “to lay upon.”
In context — Acts 15:28
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to place on you no greater burden than these necessary things .
