What does Acts 10:5-6 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

God told Cornelius to send some men to Joppa for Simon Peter who was staying there with another Simon, the tanner (cf. Acts 9:43). Tanners used quite a bit of water in practicing their trade, and this may be the reason this Simon lived by the Mediterranean Sea.
