I will return. This phrase does not accord with either the Hebrew text or the LXX of Amos 9:11. It is, however, a favorite Hebrew expression for, “I will do such and such again” (see Eccl. 9:11; Hosea 2:9 ; 11:9). This may be an indication that James quoted the OT in Hebrew.

Tabernacle. Gr. skene, “a tent,” representing the Hebrew word sukkah, “a booth,” used at the Feast of Booths (or Tabernacles), during which the Hebrews lived for a week in frail and temporary shelters.
