Acts 13:18 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 13:18

16 Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and ^ayou who fear God, listen:

17 The God of this people Israel ^achose our fathers, and exalted the people ^bwhen they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with² an uplifted arm He ^cbrought them out of it.

18 Now ^afor a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness.

19 And when He had destroyed ^aseven nations in the land of Canaan, ^bHe distributed their land to them by allotment.

20 “After that ^aHe gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, ^buntil Samuel the prophet.
