Acts 7:30-40

30 And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire of a bush.
31 And Moses seeing it wondered at the vision; and as he went up to consider it, there was a voice of [the] Lord,
32 *I* am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not consider [it].
33 And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
34 I have surely seen the ill treatment of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groan, and have come down to take them out of it; and now, come, I will send thee to Egypt.
35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee ruler and judge? him did God send [to be] a ruler and deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 *He* led them out, having wrought wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up to you out of your brethren like me [him shall ye hear].
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us;
39 to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,
40 saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.

Footnotes 6

  • [a]. The sentence is without the article and therefore much more emphatic. 'Lord' is a solemn title. The expression amounts to 'there came an utterance of Jehovah.'
  • [b]. See Ex. 3.6-10.
  • [c]. It has the sense of 'taking to or for oneself,' not merely deliverance as by removing the scourge, but by taking the people.
  • [d]. See Ex. 2.14.
  • [e]. See Deut. 18.15-18.
  • [f]. See Ex. 32.1.
