To continue forty and two months (ποιῆσαι μῆνας τεσσεράκοντα δύο)
Lit., to make forty and two months. Similarly, Act 15:33, ποιήσαντες χρόνον having tarried a space; lit., having made a time. See on continued there a year, Jam 4:13. The best expositors, however, render ποιῆσαι absolutely, to work, and the following accusative as the accusative of duration, “during forty and two months.” Rev., margin to do his works during, etc. See Dan 11:28.
