[7:39]  1 tn Grk “whom our.” The continuation of the sentence as a relative clause is awkward in English, so a new sentence was started in the translation at this point.

[7:39]  2 tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:39]  3 sn To obey. Again the theme of the speech is noted. The nation disobeyed the way of God and opted for Egypt over the promised land.

[7:39]  4 sn Pushed him aside. This is the second time Moses is “pushed aside” in Stephen’s account (see v. 27).
