kataskenoo describes settling to live or nest, including birds in a tree and flesh dwelling in hope.

The attested use most often describes birds settling or nesting in the branches or shade of a grown tree; a further occurrence speaks of flesh dwelling in hope.

1. Settling or nesting in a tree · dominant

   In Mark 4:32 and Matthew 13:32, the present active infinitive occurs in clauses about birds coming to live amid a tree's shade or branches; the APB renders these clauses with “dwell under its shade” and “come and dwell in its branches.” In Luke 13:19, the aorist active indicative occurs in the parallel tree image, where the APB renders that the birds “made their nests in its branches.”

   Mark 4:32Matthew 13:32Luke 13:19
2. Dwelling in hope · occasional

   In Acts 2:26, the future active indicative is used of flesh in the clause that the APB renders “my flesh also will dwell in hope.”

   Acts 2:26

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “dwell” in Mark 4:32, Matthew 13:32, and Acts 2:26, while Luke 13:19 renders the parallel bird action as “made their nests.” These renderings confirm the clauses' settings rather than supply separate definitions.
