This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? х archonta (G758) kai (G2532) dikasteen (G1348)]. By "judge' here is plainly meant 'avenger,' answering to "deliverer," or 'redeemer,' in the next clause:
The same did God send, [the imperfect, apestalken (G649), is better attested than the aorist, apesteilen (G649), of the Received Text]
To be a ruler and a deliverer х archonta (G758) kai (G2532) lutrooteen (G3086)]. Stephen, it will be observed, purposely selects such terms in characterizing Moses as would make the intended parallel between him and Christ-rejected by the nation, but chosen God-unmistakeable.
By the hand х(G1722) hii (G5495)] rather ' ith the hand' х(G4862) being the better By the hand, х en (G1722) cheiri (G5495)] - rather, 'with the hand' х sun (G4862) being the better attested reading]
Of the Angel which appeared to him in the bush. Here again "the stone which the builders refused was made the head of the corner."
