‏ Acts 17:26

26 From one man ^{▼▼sn The one man refers to Adam (the word “man” is understood).} he made every nation of the human race ^{▼▼tn Or “mankind.” BDAG 276 s.v. ἔθνος 1 has “every nation of humankind Ac 17:26.”} to inhabit the entire earth, ^{▼▼tn Grk “to live over all the face of the earth.”} determining their set times ^{▼▼tn BDAG 884-85 s.v. προστάσσω has “(οἱ) προστεταγμένοι καιροί (the) fixed times Ac 17:26” here, but since the following phrase is also translated “fixed limits,” this would seem redundant in English, so the word “set” has been used instead.} and the fixed limits of the places where they would live, ^{▼▼tn Grk “the boundaries of their habitation.” L&N 80.5 has “fixed limits of the places where they would live” for this phrase.}
