The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 7:35

Him hath God sent for the same did God send, A.V.; both a ruler for a ruler , A.V. and T.R.; with the hand for by the hand, A.V. and T.R. ( σὺν for ἐν ), but giving no clear sense in English. The meaning seems to be that Moses was to rule and save with the strength given him by the angel But it is much simpler to take ἐν χειρὶ as equivalent to the common Hebrew phrase דיָבְ , meaning instrumentality, "by means of," "through," and to join it with "did send." The angel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 7:35-43

Moses, and Israel's bearing towards him: a figure of Christ. I. THE REJECTED OF MEN WAS IN EACH CASE THE HONOURED OF GOD . The Israelites refused Moses as their ruler and judge; and God sent him as ruler and as emancipator to the people. Moses went into exile, and there was honored by a revelation of the glory of God; and with a special mission Jesus had been slain in Jerusalem, and in that very city had come back in the power of the Spirit, to clothe the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 7:35

Whom they refused - That is, when he first presented himself to them, Exodus 2:13-14. Stephen introduces and dwells upon this refusal in order, perhaps, to remind them that this had been the character of their nation, and to prepare the way for the charge which he intended to bring against those whom he addressed, as being stiff-necked and rebellious. See Acts 7:51-52, etc.A ruler - A military leader, or a governor in civil matters.A deliverer - A Redeemer - λυτρωτὴν lutrōtēn. It properly... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 7:35-36

Acts 7:35-36. This Moses, whom they refused Namely, forty years before: probably not they, but their fathers did it, and God imputes it to them. So God frequently imputes the sins of parents to those of their children who are of the same spirit. The same did God send to be a ruler and deliverer Which is much more than a judge. By the hand That is, by the means; of the angel See on Acts 7:30. He brought them out Though for a while he hesitated, he afterward complied, and at length... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 7:1-60

Stephen before the Sanhedrin (7:1-60)The defence that Stephen made before the Sanhedrin was not designed to win its approval. He outlined Israel’s history to demonstrate two main points. First, God had never shown himself to be limited to one dwelling place, or even one locality (therefore the Jews were mistaken in attaching such importance to the temple in Jerusalem). Second, the people of Israel had always rejected the messengers of God (therefore their rejection of the Messiah Jesus was not... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 7:35

Acts 7:35. This Moses, whom they refused,— As the terms of high respect, in which St. Stephen, through the whole of his discourse, speaks of Moses, tended to shew how improbable it was, that he should have spoken contemptibly of him, as the witnesses pretended; so this circumstance of the Israelites having rejected him whom God had appointed to be a ruler and redeemer, plainly adverted to their usage of the Lord Jesus, whom they had lately rejected, but whom God had constituted a Saviour by the... read more
