Acts 7:27

Acts 7:27

25 For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand.

26 And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?’

27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ^a‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’

29 ^aThen, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he ^bhad two sons.

Thrust him away (apwsato auton). First aorist middle indicative (Koin‚ for Attic apewsato) of apwqew, to push away from oneself in middle voice as here, common in old Greek. Again in verse Acts 7:39; Acts 13:46; Romans 11:1; I Timothy 1:19. It is always the man who is doing the wrong who is hard to reconcile.
