NETBible

The God of this people Israel¹ chose our ancestors² and made the people great³ during their stay as foreigners⁴ in the country⁵ of Egypt, and with uplifted arm⁶ he led them out of it.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “people of Israel.”

²tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

²sn Note how Paul identifies with his audience by referring to our ancestors. He speaks as a Jew. God’s design in history is the theme of the speech. The speech is like Stephen’s, only here the focus is on a promised Son of David.

³tn That is, in both numbers and in power. The implication of greatness in both numbers and in power is found in BDAG 1046 s.v. ὑψόω 2.

⁴tn Or “as resident aliens.”

⁵tn Or “land.”

⁶sn Here uplifted arm is a metaphor for God’s power by which he delivered the Israelites from Egypt. See Exod 6:1, 6; 32:11; Deut 3:24; 4:34; Ps 136:11-12.
