‏ Acts 7:35

This Moses ( Τουτον τον Μωυσην ). Rhetorical repetition follows this description of Moses (five times, anaphora, besides the use here, six cases of ουτος here about Moses: verse 35 twice, 36, 37, 38, 40). Clearly Stephen means to draw a parallel between Moses and Jesus. They in Egypt

denied ( ηρνησαντο ) Moses as now you the Jews denied ( ηρνησασθε, 3:13) Jesus. Those in Egypt scouted Moses as "ruler and judge" (verses 27, 35, αρχοντα κα δικαστην ) and God "hath sent" ( απεσταλκεν, perfect active indicative, state of completion) Moses "both a ruler and a deliverer" ( αρχοντα κα λυτρωτην ) as Jesus was to be (Lu 1:68; 2:38; Heb 9:12; Tit 2:14). "Ransomer" or "Redeemer" ( λυτρωτης ) is not found elsewhere, λυτρον (ransom), λυτροω, to ransom, and λυτρωσις, ransoming or redemption, are found often. In Ac 5:31 Christ is termed "Prince and Saviour."

With the hand ( συν χειρ ). So the correct text. The Pharisees had accused Stephen of blaspheming "against Moses and God" (6:11). Stephen here answers that slander by showing how Moses led the people out of Egypt in co-operation ( συν ) with the hand of the Angel of Jehovah.
