Acts 7:4

¹ tn Grk “said.”

² tn Or “ancestor”; Grk “father.”

³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn The translation “made him move” for the verb μετοικίζω (metoikizw) is given by L&N 85.83. The verb has the idea of “resettling” someone (BDAG 643 s.v.); see v. 43, where it reappears.
