Deeds (Act) of Apostles 7:23-41

²³But when the time of forty years was full-filled to him, it rose up into his heart, that he should visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.

²⁴And when he saw a man suffering wrong, he (a)venged him, and did vengeance for him that suffered the wrong, and killed the Egyptian.

²⁵For he guessed that his brethren should understand, that God should give to them health (or deliverance) by the hand of him; but they understood not.

²⁶For in the day (pur)suing he appeared to them (who were) chiding (or For on the following day he appeared to two men who were fighting), and he accorded them or he reconciled them in peace, and said, Men, ye be brethren; why annoy (or harm) ye each other?

²⁷But he that did the wrong to his neighbour, putted him away, and said, Who ordained thee prince and doomsman on us? (But he who did the wrong to his neighbour, pushed him away, and said, Who made thee lord and judge over us?)

²⁸Whether thou wilt slay me, as yesterday thou killedest the Egyptian?

²⁹And in this word Moses flew, and was made a comeling in the land of Madian (or and was made a newcomer in the land of Midian), where he begat two sons.

³⁰And when he had ful filled forty years, an angel appeared to him in (the) fire of (the) flame of a bush, in desert of the mount of Sina (or in the desert of Mount Sinai).

³¹And Moses saw, and wondered on the sight. And when he nighed to behold, the voice of the Lord was made to him, (And Moses saw, and wondered at the sight. And when he approached to look at it, the voice of the Lord was made to him,)

³²and said, I am (the) God of your fathers, (the) God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. Moses was made trembling, and durst (or dared) not behold.

³³But God said to him, Do off the shoes of thy feet, for the place in which thou standest is holy earth (or for the place where thou standest is holy ground).

³⁴I seeing saw the tormenting or the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I heard the mourning of them, and came down to deliver them. And now come thou, and I shall send thee into Egypt.

³⁵This Moses whom they denied, saying, Who ordained thee prince and doomsman on us? God sent this prince and again-buyer, with the hand of the angel, that appeared to him in the bush. (This Moses whom they denied, saying, Who ordained thee lord and judge over us? God sent this leader and this redeemer, by the hand of the angel, who appeared to him in the bush.)

³⁶This Moses led them out, and did wonders and signs (or miracles) in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea (or and in the Sea of Reeds), and in (the) desert (for) forty years.

³⁷This is Moses, that said to the sons of Israel, God shall raise to you a prophet of your brethren, and as me ye shall hear him.

³⁸This it is, that was in the church in wilderness, with the angel that spake to him in the mount of Sina, and with our fathers; which took words of life to give to us. (This is he, who was with the congregation in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the Words of Life to give to us.)

³⁹To whom our fathers would not obey, but putted him away, and were turned away in their hearts into Egypt (or and their hearts were turned back to Egypt),

⁴⁰saying to Aaron, Make thou to us gods, that shall go before us; for to this Moses that led us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is done to him.

⁴¹And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the maumet, or to the simulacrum, (or and offered a sacrifice to the idol); and they were glad in the works of their hands.
