ACTs 7:15 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατέβη Ἰακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον

came_down Jacob into Egypt

Stephen says that Jacob went down because he traveled from the hilly and mountainous terrain of Canaan to the lowlying land of Egypt. Alternate translation: [Jacob traveled to Egypt]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐτελεύτησεν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν

died he and the fathers ˱of˲_us

Stephen’s listeners would have known that Jacob and his sons lived in Egypt for some time. Make sure that your translation does not make it sound as if they died as soon as they arrived in Egypt. Alternate translation: [eventually Jacob and our ancestors died]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν

he and the fathers ˱of˲_us

Stephen is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” Here he means specifically Jacob’s sons (Joseph’s older brothers), as UST indicates. Alternate translation: [Jacob and his sons who became our ancestors]
