Acts 7:33 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 7:33

Then said the Lord to him
To Moses, who through curiosity had made too near an approach:

put off thy shoes from thy feet;
in token of humility, obedience, and reverence:

for the place where thou standest is holy ground;
not really, but relatively, on account of the divine presence in it, and only so long as that continued.

Acts 7:33 In-Context

31 Moses autem videns admiratus est visum et accedente illo ut consideraret facta est vox Domini

32 ego Deus patrum tuorum Deus Abraham et Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob tremefactus autem Moses non audebat considerare

33 dixit autem illi Dominus solve calciamentum pedum tuorum locus enim in quo stas terra sancta est

34 videns vidi adflictionem populi mei qui est in Aegypto et gemitum eorum audivi et descendi liberare eos et nunc veni et mittam te in Aegyptum

35 hunc Mosen quem negaverunt dicentes quis te constituit principem et iudicem hunc Deus principem et redemptorem misit cum manu angeli qui apparuit illi in rubo
