Acts 11:7 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:7

And I heard a voice saying unto me
As he apprehended in his mind; and this voice he heard in the same sense and manner, as the Apostle Paul heard when in a trance, ( Acts 22:17 Acts 22:18 ) ( 2 Corinthians 12:4 ) .

arise, Peter, slay and eat;
that is, get up and slay some of these creatures upon the sheet, and dress them and eat them.
