Exegesis
The relative pronoun hosa {ὅσα | hó-sa} ‘all that’ introduces the clause with the imperfect epoiei {ἐποίει | e-poí-ei} ‘she was making,’ whose imperfect aspect highlights the ongoing nature of Dorcas’s labor.
In context — Acts 9:39
Then Peter rose and accompanied them. Upon his arrival, they led him into the upper room, where all the widows stood by him weeping and showing the tunics and garments that Dorcas had been making while she was with them.
