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.

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “The Lord said that he had certainly seen the oppression of his people who were in Egypt and that he had heard their groaning and that he had come down to rescue them. He told Moses to get ready because he was sending him to Egypt”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἰδὼν, εἶδον
/having/_seen ˱I˲_saw
Stephen is reproducing a Hebrew idiom from the biblical account of Moses at the burning bush. The verb seen is repeated in Hebrew. This repetition expresses the intensity, certainty, or clarity of Yahweh’s having seen how his people were being oppressed. This Hebrew practice of verb repetition for intensification cannot be directly translated into English. Use a natural form of strengthening a verb from your language.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τοῦ λαοῦ μου
˱of˲_the people ˱of˲_me
God uses the possessive word my to emphasize that these people were in a covenant relationship with him based on his promises to their ancestors. Alternate translation: “of the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κατέβην ἐξελέσθαι αὐτούς
˱I˲_came_down /to/_rescue them
God describes himself as having come down from heaven to earth to help the Israelites. His presence was in the burning bush, but he also means that he is taking action to rescue them. Alternate translation: “I will personally bring about their release”
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
(Occurrence 3) καὶ
and
God is using the word translated And to introduce what he wants Moses to do as a result of what he has told him. Alternate translation: “So”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
νῦν δεῦρο
now come
God is giving an order here. Alternate translation: “get ready”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἀποστείλω σε εἰς Αἴγυπτον
˱I˲_/may/_send_out you to Egypt
God is not asking Moses’ permission when he says let me send you to Egypt. This is a way of saying “I will send you to Egypt,” and that statement in turn is functioning as a command. Alternate translation: “you must go to Egypt”
