Acts 7:29 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Then fled Moses; knowing that what he had done to the Egyptian would be discovered to Pharaoh, and his life in danger. The land of Madian; inhabitant by the posterity of Midian, Abraham's son by Keturah, Genesis 25:1,2. Moses was forty years in Egypt, forty years in Midian, with Jethro or Jether, who was called also Reuel, Exodus 2:18, and Hobab, Numbers 10:29, and the other forty years in the wilderness, which make up the hundred and twenty years of his life, Deuteronomy 34:7. This makes to St. Stephen's purpose, to prove that God is always with them that fear him, in what country or place soever; as he was with Abraham in Mesopotamia, and with his people in Egypt, so with Moses in Midian.
