Acts 23:24 - Exposition
He bade them provide for provide, A.V, (the infinitive παραστῆσαι ) ; might for may, A.V. ; thereon for on, A.V. Beasts ( κτήνη ); here "riding-horses," as Luke 10:34 . In Revelation 18:13 it is applied to "cattle;" in 1 Corinthians 15:39 it means "beasts" generally. In the LXX . it is used for all kinds of beasts—cattle, sheep, beasts of burden, etc. Beasts is in the plural, because one or more would be required for those who guarded Paul.
