Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
κατῴκησεν & αὐτοῦ & μετῴκισεν αὐτὸν
˱he˲_dwelt & ˱of˲_him & ˱he˲_removed him
The pronouns his and him and the first instance of the word he refer to Abraham, while the second instance of the word he refers to God. For clarity, in your translation you might say “Abraham lived” and “God brought him.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ὑμεῖς
you_all
The word you is plural. Stephen is using it to refer not just to the high priest, whose question he is answering, but also to all of the council members and the others who are listening to him. So you can use the plural form of the word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
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.
