OET (OET-RV) This was the same Mosheh that they had previously rejected and asked who had made him ruler and judge over them. Now God had indeed sent him as ruler and liberator by means of the messenger that he saw in the thorn bush.

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 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
εἰπόντες, τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστήν?
/having/_said who you appointed ruler and judge
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. See what you did in 7:27. Alternate translation: [asking him who appointed him a ruler and a judge]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστήν?
who you appointed ruler and judge
See how you translated this rhetorical question in 7:27. Alternate translation: [No one appointed you a ruler and a judge!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστήν
ruler and judge
See how you translated the combination of ruler and judge in 7:27. Alternate translation: [an authority with power]
λυτρωτὴν
redeemer
In this context, the word translated redeemer refers to someone who delivers people from earthly troubles, not someone who brings eternal salvation. Alternate translation: [a rescuer]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
σὺν χειρὶ ἀγγέλου
with /the/_hand ˱of˲_/the/_angel
Here, hand is a metonym for the capability and actions of someone. Alternate translation: [accompanied by the power of the angel] or [through the actions of the angel]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὀφθέντος αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ βάτῳ
/having_been/_seen ˱by˲_him in the thorn_bush
See how you translated the word appeared in 7:30. Here as well, the word does not mean that Moses simply saw this angel in a vision. Alternate translation: [who was with him at the bush]
