NETBible

Then a famine occurred throughout¹ Egypt and Canaan, causing² great suffering, and our³ ancestors⁴ could not find food.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “came upon all Egypt.”

²tn Grk “and,” but logically causal.

³sn Our. Stephen spoke of “our” ancestors (Grk “fathers”) in an inclusive sense throughout the speech until his rebuke in v. 51, where the nation does what “your” ancestors did, at which point an exclusive pronoun is used. This serves to emphasize the rebuke.

⁴tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”
