TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔφυγεν & Μωϋσῆς ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ

fled & Moses at ¬the statement this

The implication is that Moses fled because he recognized that these Israelites, and probably others, knew that he had killed an Egyptian. Moses feared that he would be punished or even killed for this crime. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Moses ran away at this word to try to escape from being punished]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ

at ¬the statement this

Stephen is using the term word to mean what the man said by using words. Alternate translation: [at this statement]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὗ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς δύο

where ˱he˲_bore sons two

Stephen assumes that his listeners will know that Moses married a Midianite woman when he fled from Egypt. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [where he married a Midianite woman and fathered two sons]
