Acts 7:12
Was corn in Egypt - The word "corn" here rather denotes "wheat." See the notes on Matthew 12:1.
Our fathers - His ten sons; all his sons except Joseph and Benjamin, Gen. 42: Stephen here "refers" only to the history, without entering into details. By this general reference he sufficiently showed that he believed what Moses had spoken, and did not intend to show him disrespect.
