Acts 7:30 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 7:30

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.

30 ^a“And when forty years had passed, an Angel¹ of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.

31 When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to him,

32 saying, ^a‘I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses trembled and dared not look.

33 ^a‘Then the Lord said to him, “Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

34 I have surely ^aseen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will ^bsend you to Egypt.” ’
