The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 7:30-34
The call of Moses. I. THE MESSAGE BY FIRE . Fire is the sign of the presence of Jehovah. It denotes spiritual agency in its intensity. Fire penetrates and it purifies. It is, therefore, inimical to evil and conservative of good. Darkness of mystery is round about God, and when he comes forth from it to reveal himself to men it is in the form of fire. It is an emblem of the Holy Spirit. In the bosoms of men he glows, and the musing poet bursts forth into inspired song, and the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 7:31
And when for when, A.V.; behold for behold it, A.V. ; there came a voice of the Lord for the voice of the Lord came unto him, A.V. There came a voice. The A.V. is surely right. The Lord has only one voice; and φωνὴ κυρίου is that voice. The grammatical effect of κυρίου upon φωνὴ is to make it definite, as in ἄγγελος κυρίου (see Acts 5:19 , note). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 7:30
And when forty years ... - At the age of 80 years. This, however, was known by tradition. It is not expressly mentioned by Moses. It is said, however, to have been after the king of Egypt had died Exodus 2:23; and the tradition is not improbable.In the wilderness of mount Sina - In the desert adjacent to, or that surrounded Mount Sinai. In Exodus 3:1, it is said that this occurred at Mount “Horeb.” But there is no contradiction; Horeb and Sinai are different peaks or elevations of the same... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 7:30-34
Acts 7:30-34. When forty years were expired That is, forty after his leaving Egypt; during which time Israel had continued under this bondage, and Moses, inured to hardships and poverty, and to contemplation and devotion, had been trained up and prepared, in the humble and retired life of a shepherd, for the great work for which God designed him; see on Exodus 2:22; there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina Which lay in the confines of the Midianite country, not far from the... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 7:20-39
The Divine and the human. I. DIVINE INTERVENTION . The hand of God is sometimes visible though it is usually unseen. We see the Divine working in II. HUMAN NOBLENESS . ( Acts 7:23-28 ; see Hebrews 11:24-26 .) It was" in Moses' heart to visit his brethren," and he took their cause in hand in a very practical and decisive way ( Acts 7:24 ). He may have been mistaken in the method which he adopted, but that is of very small moment. The great thing is that it was in his heart... read more
