Acts 7:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 7:29

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.

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.
