What does Acts 7:32 mean?
Saying, I am the God of thy fathers
Who made a covenant with them, promised the land of Canaan to
them, and to their posterity, and to bring the children of Israel
out of their servitude and bondage, and into the possession of
the promised land:
the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob;
words which our Lord makes use of to prove the doctrine of the
resurrection of the dead, since God is not the God of the dead,
but of the living, (See Gill on Matthew
22:32)
Then Moses trembled;
this Stephen had by tradition; in which way also the author of
the epistle to the Hebrews had the account of his trembling and
quaking at the same mount, when the law was given, ( Hebrews
12:21 )
and durst not behold;
either "the sight" of the burning bush, and curiously consider
and inquire into that, as the Syriac version reads; or him, as
the Ethiopic version; that is, God, and which is expressed in (
Exodus 3:6 )
