Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 7:5

And he gave him none inheritance - Abraham led a wandering life; and this passage means that he did not himself receive a permanent possession or residence in that land. The only land which he owned was the field which he “purchased” of the children of Heth for a burial place, Genesis 23:0: As this was obtained by “purchase,” and not by the direct gift of God, and as it was not designed for a “residence,” it is said that God gave him no “inheritance.” It is mentioned as a strong instance of his... read more

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

And the nation ... - Referring particularly to the Egyptians.Will I judge - The word “judge,” in the Bible, often means to “execute judgment” as well as to pronounce it; that is, “to punish.” See John 18:31; John 3:17; John 8:50; John 12:47; Act 24:6; 1 Corinthians 5:13, etc. It has this meaning here.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 7:1-3

Acts 7:1-3. Then said the high-priest Who was president of the council, and, as such, the mouth of the court; Are these things so? Are they as these witnesses have deposed? for thou art permitted to speak for thyself, and make thy defence.

Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans Strange as the command which was given him might seem, he, with all submission, readily obeyed it; and dwelt in Charran Namely, for several years, having been led thither by the divine conduct, and not immediately receiving a signal to proceed any further.

Acts 7:6-8. And God spake, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land When God had brought Abraham into this country, he did not keep him and his posterity here till the time when they were to enter upon the possession of it, in consequence of this divine grant; but, on the contrary, God informed him in a vision that his seed should be strangers in a foreign land, and that they among whom they sojourned should bring them into bondage Should make them slaves; and entreat them evil Use... 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
