Notes: It may, however, be impossible to say in some languages ‘his strength came back,’ because this would seem to imply a kind of personification of ‘strength.’ Therefore, it may be necessary to translate this phrase in RV ACT 9:19 · LV ACT 9:19 · Read together ACT 9:19 as ‘after he had eaten, he became strong again’ or ‘… he was no longer weak.’
