Shall rest (κατασκηνώσει)
See on nests, Mat 8:20. Better, as Rev., dwell. Lit., dwell in a tent or tabernacle. Rendered lodge, Mat 13:32; Mar 4:32; Luk 13:19. It is a beautiful metaphor. My flesh shall encamp on hope; pitch its tent there to rest through the night of death, until the morning of resurrection.

Lit., on hope: resting on the hope of resurrection; his body being poetically conceived as hoping.
