Acts 7:36-38

Expanded Bible

³⁶ ·So Moses [^LThis man] led the people out of Egypt. He worked ·miracles [wonders] and signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea [^Cthe Hebrew OT calls it the Sea of Reeds; the Septuagint (the Greek OT) calls it the Red Sea; Ex. 13:18; 15:4], and then in the ·desert [wilderness] for forty years. ³⁷ This is the same Moses that said to the ·people [^Lsons; children] of Israel, ‘God will ·give [^Lraise up for] you a prophet like me, ·who is one of your own ·people [^Lfrom among your brothers; Deut. 18:15].’ ³⁸ This is the Moses who was with the ·gathering of the Israelites [assembly; congregation] in the ·desert [wilderness]. He was with the angel that spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and he was with our ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers]. He received ·commands from God that give life [life-giving messages; or living oracles], and he gave those commands to us [Ex. 19—24].
