Nest:
properly "an encamping, taking up one's quarters," then, "a lodging, abode" (kata, "down over," skene, "a tent"), is used of birds' "nest" in Mat 8:20; Luk 9:58. In the Sept., 1Ch 28:2, "the building;" Eze 37:27, "(My) tabernacle." The word nossia, signifying "a brood," Luk 13:34, used in the Sept. to denote a "nest," e.g., in Deu 22:6; 32:11, signifies the actual receptacle built by birds in which to lay their eggs (having special reference to the prospective brood); but the word kataskenosis, used by the Lord, denotes "a resting or roosting place." This lends force to His comparison. Not only was He without a home, He had even a lodging place (cp. kataskenoo, "to lodge," e.g., Mat 13:32; Act 2:26, RV marg., "shall tabernacle;" see LODGE).
