Acts 7:26

7:26 The next day Moses ¹  saw two men ²  fighting, and tried to make peace between ³  them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting one another?’

Acts 7:34

7:34 I have certainly seen the suffering ⁴  of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. ⁵  Now ⁶  come, I will send you to Egypt.’ ⁷ 

[7:26]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:26]  ² tn Grk “saw them”; the context makes clear that two individuals were involved (v. 27).

[7:26]  ³ tn Or “tried to reconcile” (BDAG 964-65 s.v. συναλλάσσω).

[7:34]  ⁴ tn Or “mistreatment.”

[7:34]  ⁵ tn Or “to set them free.”

[7:34]  ⁶ tn Grk “And now.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:34]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Exod 3:7-8, 10.
