Israel Rebels Against God

37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ^a‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. ^bHim you shall hear.’

38 ^a“This is he who was in the¹ congregation in the wilderness with ^bthe Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, ^cthe one who received the living ^doracles to give to us,

39 whom our fathers ^awould not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,

40 ^asaying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’

41 ^aAnd they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and ^brejoiced in the works of their own hands.

Like unto me (wv eme). This same passage Peter quoted to the crowd in Solomon's Porch (Acts 3:22). Stephen undoubtedly means to argue that Moses was predicting the Messiah as a prophet like himself who is no other than Jesus so that these Pharisees are in reality opposing Moses. It was a neat turn.
