Acts 7:39 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, In their hearts turned back again into Egypt - Became idolaters, and preferred their Egyptian bondage and their idolatry to the promised land and the pure worship of God. See the whole of these transactions explained at large in the notes on Exodus 32:1-35 (note).
