This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
16. διὰ τοῦ προφήτου, through the prophet. διὰ is the preposition generally used in such phrases, and denotes that the prophet was the instrument by whose intervention God spake. Joel himself (Act 1:1) calls his prophecy ‘the word of the Lord that came unto Joel.’ The quotation is from Joe 2:28-32. The order of sentences differs here from the Hebrew (which is represented by the A.V. of Joel), but agrees with the LXX. very nearly, only for ἐν ταῖς ἐσχ. ἡμέραις the LXX. has μετὰ ταῦτα, and omits σημεῖα in Act 2:19.
