Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

Do you want to kill me
This phrase is part of Stephen's speech before the Sanhedrin, recounting the story of Moses. It reflects the accusation made by a fellow Hebrew when Moses intervened in a dispute. The question highlights the tension and mistrust among the Israelites during their time in Egypt. It also foreshadows the rejection of Moses as a leader, paralleling the rejection of Jesus by the Jewish leaders. This rejection theme is a recurring motif in the Bible, seen in the lives of Joseph, David, and ultimately Jesus Christ.

as you killed the Egyptian
This refers to the incident where Moses killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew slave. This act of violence was Moses' first recorded attempt to deliver his people, though it was done in his own strength and timing. It underscores Moses' initial misunderstanding of his role as a deliverer, which would later be fulfilled according to God's plan. The act also sets the stage for Moses' flight to Midian, where he would spend 40 years in preparation for his divine mission. This mirrors the concept of divine timing and preparation seen throughout Scripture, such as in the life of Jesus, who waited until the appointed time to begin His ministry.

yesterday?
The mention of "yesterday" emphasizes the immediacy and recentness of Moses' action, indicating that the news of the killing spread quickly among the Hebrews. It also suggests the rapidity with which Moses' attempt to help was misunderstood and rejected. This reflects the broader biblical theme of human impatience and misunderstanding of God's timing and methods. The quick spread of information among the Israelites in Egypt can be compared to the rapid dissemination of news in the early church, as seen in Acts, where the message of the Gospel spread quickly despite opposition.

Persons / Places / Events

1.Stephen
A deacon in the early church, known for his wisdom and filled with the Holy Spirit. He is delivering a speech to the Sanhedrin, recounting Israel's history.

2.Moses
A central figure in this passage, Moses is being referenced by Stephen as he recounts the events of Moses' life, particularly his early years in Egypt.

3.The Egyptian
An unnamed Egyptian whom Moses killed, an event that led to Moses fleeing Egypt.

Teaching Points

Understanding God's Timing
Moses acted prematurely in his attempt to deliver his people, which serves as a reminder to seek God's timing and guidance in our actions.

The Cost of Leadership
Moses' experience shows that leadership often involves misunderstanding and rejection, even from those we aim to help.

The Importance of Humility
Moses' initial failure and subsequent humility in the desert prepared him for God's calling. We must be willing to learn and grow through our failures.

Recognizing God's Deliverers
Just as the Israelites initially rejected Moses, people often fail to recognize those whom God sends to lead and deliver. We should be open to God's chosen leaders.

The Role of Confrontation in Growth
The confrontation Moses faced was pivotal in his development. Similarly, we should not shy away from difficult conversations that can lead to personal and spiritual growth.

What Does Acts 7:28 Mean

• The confrontation opens with a pointed challenge, echoing the Israelite’s words inExodus 2:14: “Who made you ruler and judge over us?” (see alsoActs 7:27).

• His “Do” introduces doubt about Moses’ motives, contrasting with God’s later commissioning of Moses as deliverer (Exodus 3:10).

• It surfaces unbelief among the people, foreshadowing repeated resistance to God-sent leadership (Numbers 14:1-4).

you want to kill me

• The speaker charges Moses with murderous intent, revealing fear of personal harm (Exodus 2:15).

• His accusation exposes how one sinful act can taint an otherwise righteous reputation (Hebrews 11:24-26 still commends Moses, yet Scripture records his failure with full honesty).

• It reminds believers that hidden sin rarely stays hidden (Proverbs 28:13).

as you killed the Egyptian

• The words call out Moses’ secret deed (Exodus 2:11-12;Acts 7:24), bringing it into the open.

• They underline God’s truth that “whatever is concealed is meant to be brought to light” (Mark 4:22).

• The mention of the Egyptian also highlights the conflict between Israel’s oppression and God’s coming deliverance (Genesis 15:13-14).

yesterday?

• The timeline shows how swiftly news travels, even without modern media (cf.Joshua 2:2).

• It signals Moses’ sudden loss of anonymity, prompting his flight to Midian (Exodus 2:15;Acts 7:29).

• The speed of exposure illustrates the fleeting cover sin provides and the urgency of repentance (Psalm 32:3-5).

summary

Acts 7:28 captures an Israelite’s fearful rebuke to Moses, exposing the murder that ended Moses’ first attempt at deliverance. Each phrase reveals escalating distrust—first questioning, then personal fear, public exposure, and immediate consequences. The verse underscores the certainty that sin finds us out, the readiness of God to use imperfect people once they repent, and the sovereign unfolding of His plan to rescue His people in spite of human failure.
