Acts 7:27

Context
7:27 But the man who was unfairly hurting his neighbor pushed 1  Moses 2  aside, saying, ‘Who made 3  you a ruler and judge over us?

Acts 7:39

Context
7:39 Our 4  ancestors 5  were unwilling to obey 6  him, but pushed him aside 7  and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

1 tn Or “repudiated Moses,” “rejected Moses” (BDAG 126-27 s.v. ἀπωθέω 2).

2 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Or “appointed.”

4 tn Grk “whom our.” The continuation of the sentence as a relative clause is awkward in English, so a new sentence was started in the translation at this point.

5 tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

6 sn To obey. Again the theme of the speech is noted. The nation disobeyed the way of God and opted for Egypt over the promised land.

7 sn Pushed him aside. This is the second time Moses is “pushed aside” in Stephen’s account (see v. 27).
