7:1-53 Stephen responded to the accusations by testifying about his Lord (cp. Luke 21:12-17). Instead of defending himself against their prosecution, he became a witness in God’s prosecution of them, exposing their stubbornness and unfaithfulness to God. Stephen’s recital of Israel’s past reminded them of their repeated rejections of those whom God had sent.
• Stephen’s review of Israel’s history has three principal parts, dealing with the work of the patriarchs (Acts 7:2-16), the ministry of Moses (7:17-43), and the role of the Tabernacle and the Temple (7:44-50). Stephen followed up his historical survey with a clear attack on the hard-heartedness of his own people. With a prophetic challenge, he urged them to stop rebelling against the Holy Spirit and turn to God with repentance and faith.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς
the brothers
Stephen is using the word brothers to mean “kinsmen.” Alternate translation: “his kinsmen”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
δίδωσιν σωτηρίαν αὐτοῖς
/is/_giving salvation ˱to˲_them
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. In context, the word refers to God using Moses to deliver the Israelites from slavery. Alternate translation: “was delivering them from slavery”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
διὰ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ
by /the/_hand ˱of˲_him
Here, hand refers to the actions of Moses. Alternate translation: “through his actions”
