Acts 7:4

Context
7:4 Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God 1  made him move 2  to this country where you now live.

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn The translation “made him move” for the verb μετοικίζω (metoikizw) is given by L&N 85.83. The verb has the idea of “resettling” someone (BDAG 643 s.v.); see v. 43, where it reappears.
