Acts 7:18

Context
7:18 until another king who did not know about 1  Joseph ruled 2  over Egypt. 3 

Acts 13:21

Context
13:21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled 4  forty years.

1 tn Or simply “did not know.” However, in this context the point is that the new king knew nothing about Joseph, not whether he had known him personally (which is the way “did not know Joseph” could be understood).

2 tn Grk “arose,” but in this context it clearly refers to a king assuming power.

3 sn A quotation from Exod 1:8.

4 tn The words “who ruled” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. They have been supplied as a clarification for the English reader. See Josephus, Ant. 6.14.9 (6.378).
