Albert Barnes Commentary Acts 10:6

"he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side." — Acts 10:6 (ASV)

He lodgeth. He remains as a guest at his house. See Acts 9:43.

By the sea side. Joppa was a seaport on the Mediterranean. Tanneries are erected on the margin of streams, or of any body of water, to convey away the filth produced in the operation of dressing skins.
