Kisah Para Rasul 7:34

7:34 I have certainly seen the suffering ⁵  of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. ⁶  Now ⁷  come, I will send you to Egypt.’ ⁸ 

[4:12]  ¹ sn The promise of divine presence always indicates intervention (for blessing or cursing). Here it means that God would be working through the organs of speech to help Moses speak. See Deut 18:18; Jer 1:9.

[4:12]  ² sn The verb is וְהוֹרֵיתִיךָ (vÿhoretikha), the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive. The form carries the instructional meaning because it follows the imperative “go.” In fact, there is a sequence at work here: “go…and/that I may teach you.” It is from יָרָה (yara), the same root behind תּוֹרָה (torah, “law”). This always referred to teaching either wisdom or revelation. Here Yahweh promises to teach Moses what to say.

[4:12]  ³ tn The form is the imperfect tense. While it could be taken as a future (“what you will say”), an obligatory imperfect captures the significance better (“what you must say” or “what you are to say”). Not even the content of the message will be left up to Moses.

[24:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “by that which I did in its midst.”

[7:34]  ⁵ tn Or “mistreatment.”

[7:34]  ⁶ tn Or “to set them free.”

[7:34]  ⁷ tn Grk “And now.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:34]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Exod 3:7-8, 10.
