ἐπαιδεύθη Μωϋσῆς πάσῃ σοφίᾳ Αἰγυπτίων
/was/_instructed Moses (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐπαιδεύθη Μωϋσῆς ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ Αἰγυπτίων ἦν δὲ δυνατὸς ἐν λόγοις καὶ ἔργοις αὐτοῦ)
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the Egyptians educated Moses in all of their wisdom”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάσῃ σοφίᾳ Αἰγυπτίων
˱in˲_all /the/_wisdom ˱of˲_/the/_Egyptians
Stephen says all as an exaggeration for emphasis. Alternate translation: “thoroughly in the wisdom of the Egyptians”
δυνατὸς ἐν λόγοις καὶ ἔργοις αὐτοῦ
powerful in /the/_words and /the/_works ˱of˲_him
Alternate translation: “effective in his speech and actions” or “influential in what he said and did”
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: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
