of St. Stephen’s speech, and St. Chrysos- tom’s comment in loco.
Ver. 34. Sav εἶδον: Hebraism, so LXX, Exod. fii. 7, and so frequently, e.g., Ps. xl. 1, of. Matt. xiii. 14, Heb. vi. 14 (Gen. xxii. 17), the participle with the verb emphasising the assurance. But similar collocations are not wanting in classical Greek, see Page, in loco, and Wendt, who compares Σ Cor. ii. 1. The phrase ἰδὼν εἶδον occurs in Lucian, Dial. Mar., iv., 3 (Wetstein). ‘I have surely seen,” R.V., so in A. and R.V., Exod. iii. 7, see Simcox, Language of N. Τ., p. 130, and Viteau, Le Gree du N. Τ., p. 217 (1896). --καὶ viv δεῦρο ἀποστελῶ, but cf. Exod. iii. 10 ; ἀποστείλω; see critical notes. On the hortatory subj. in first person singular with δεῦρο or ἄφες pre- fixed, see Burton, N. T. Moods and Tenses, p- 74, cf. Matt. vii. 4, Luke vi. 42, but translated by the revisers, ‘*I will send,” with an imperative force as of a divine command (see Rendall’s note, 7 loco). For classical instances cf. Wendt, zn loco.
Ver. 35. τοῦτον: followed by the triple οὗτος, a significant and oratorical tepetition—anaphora or repetition of the pronoun, cf. ii. 23, ν. 31 (so Bengel, Blass, Viteau, see also Simcox, Language of the N. Τ., pp. 65, 66). It plainly ap- pears to be one of the purposes, although we cannot positively say the chief pur- pose, of the speech to place Moses in typical comparison to Jesus and the be-
haviour of the Jews towards Him, ver. 25.---(καὶ) ἄρχοντα καὶ λυτρωτῆν: Moses was made by God a ruler and even more than a judge—not δικαστής but Ἀντρω- τής. But just as the denial of the Christ is compared with the denial of Moses, cf. ἠρνήσαντο and ἠρνήσασθε in Acts iii. 13, so in the same way the λύτρωσις wrought by Christ is compared with that wrought by Moses, cf. Luke i. 68, ii. 38, Heb. ix. 12, Tit. ii. 14 (so Wendt, in loco) “omnia que negaverant Judi Deus attribuit Moysi” (Blass). Ἀυτρωτής in LXX and in Philo, but|not in classical Greek. In the Sept. the word is used of God Himself, Ps. xix. 14, Ixxviii. 35 (cf. Deut. xiii. 5, and Psalms of Solomon, ix. 1).—év χειρὶ, cf. xi. 21, but σύν is closer to the classical σὺν θεοῖς with the help- ing and protecting hand, ἐν χειρὶ = τε, cf. Gal. iii, το.--τῇ Bato: ὁ Attic, ἡ Hellenistic, but in N.T. it varies, in Luke xx. 37 feminine, in Mark xii. 26 (and in LXX) masculine (W.H.); Blass, Gram., p. 26; Grimm-Thayer, sub v. Ver. 36. On otros see ver. 35.— ἐξήγαγεν, Exod. iii. το, καὶ ἐξάξεις τὸν λαόν µον.--Ἔρυθρᾷ θαλάσσῃ in LXX frequent, FID 0" sometimes with, =
