Kejadian 13:8

13:8 Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no quarreling between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are close relatives. ¹ 

Kisah Para Rasul 7:27

7:27 But the man who was unfairly hurting his neighbor pushed ²  Moses ³  aside, saying, ‘Who made ⁴  you a ruler and judge over us?

Kisah Para Rasul 7:35

7:35 This same ⁵  Moses they had rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge?’ ⁶  God sent as both ruler and deliverer ⁷  through the hand of the angel ⁸  who appeared to him in the bush.

[13:8]  ¹ tn Heb “men, brothers [are] we.” Here “brothers” describes the closeness of the relationship, but could be misunderstood if taken literally, since Abram was Lot’s uncle.

[7:27]  ² tn Or “repudiated Moses,” “rejected Moses” (BDAG 126-27 s.v. ἀπωθέω 2).

[7:27]  ³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:27]  ⁴ tn Or “appointed.”

[7:35]  ⁵ sn This same. The reference to “this one” occurs five times in this speech. It is the way the other speeches in Acts refer to Jesus (e.g., Acts 2:23).

[7:35]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Exod 2:14 (see Acts 7:27). God saw Moses very differently than the people of the nation did. The reference to a ruler and a judge suggests that Stephen set up a comparison between Moses and Jesus, but he never finished his speech to make the point. The reader of Acts, however, knowing the other sermons in the book, recognizes that the rejection of Jesus is the counterpoint.

[7:35]  ⁷ tn Or “liberator.” The meaning “liberator” for λυτρωτήν (lutrwthn) is given in L&N 37.129: “a person who liberates or releases others.”

[7:35]  ⁸ tn Or simply “through the angel.” Here the “hand” could be understood as a figure for the person or the power of the angel himself. The remark about the angel appearing fits the first century Jewish view that God appears to no one (John 1:14-18; Gal 3:19; Deut 33:2 LXX).
