Acts 7:17-29

17

AsG2531 theG3588 timeG5550 drew nearG1448 forG3739 GodG2316 to fulfill His promiseG1860G3670 to AbrahamG11, our peopleG2992 inG1722 EgyptG125 increasedG837 greatly in numberG4129. 18ThenG891G3739 anotherG2087 kingG935, whoG3739 knewG1492 nothingG3756 of JosephG2501, aroseG450 overG1909 EgyptG125. 19HeG3778 exploitedG2686 ourG1473 peopleG1085 and oppressedG2559 ourG1473 fathersG3962, forcingG4160 them to abandonG1570 theirG846 infantsG1025 soG1519G3588 they would dieG3361G2225.

20AtG1722 thatG3739 timeG2540 MosesG3475 was bornG1080, andG2532 he wasG1510 beautifulG791 in the sight of GodG2316.1 For threeG5140 monthsG3376 he was nurturedG397 inG1722 his father’sG3962 houseG3624. 21When heG846 was set outsideG1620, Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG2364 took himG337G846 andG2532 brought him upG397G846 asG1519 her ownG1438 sonG5207. 22SoG2532 MosesG3475 was educatedG3811 inG1722 allG3956 the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124 andG1161 wasG1510 powerfulG1415 inG1722 speechG3056 andG2532 actionG2041.

WhenG5613 Moses was forty yearsG5063 old, he decidedG305G1909G846G3588G2588 to visitG1980 hisG846 brothersG80, theG3588 childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474. 24AndG2532 when he sawG3708 oneG5100 of them being mistreatedG91, Moses went to his defenseG292 andG2532 avengedG4160G1557 him by striking downG3960 theG3588 EgyptianG124 who was oppressingG2669 him. 25He assumedG3543 hisG846 brothersG80 would understandG4920 thatG3754 GodG2316 was using himG1223G846G5495 to deliver themG1325G846G4991, butG1161 they did not.

26

TheG3588 nextG1966 dayG2250 he came uponG3708 two Israelites who were fightingG3164, and he tried to reconcile themG4900G846G1519G1515, sayingG2036, ‘MenG435, you areG1510 brothersG80. WhyG2443G5101 are you mistreatingG91 each otherG240?’

27ButG1161 theG3588 man who was abusingG91 his neighborG4139 pushed Moses asideG683G846 and saidG2036, ‘WhoG5101 madeG2525 youG4771 rulerG758 andG2532 judgeG1348 overG1909 usG1473? 28Do youG4771 wantG3361G2309 to kill meG337G1473 asG3739G5158 you killedG337 theG3588 EgyptianG124 yesterdayG5504?’2 29AtG1722 thisG3778 remarkG3056, MosesG3475 fledG5343 toG1722 the landG1093 of MidianG3099, whereG3757 he lived asG1096 a foreignerG3941 and hadG1080 twoG1417 sonsG5207.
