Bible Commentary for Acts 7:38

Wesley's Notes for Acts 7:38


7:38 This is he - Moses. With the angel, and with our fathers - As a mediator between them. Who received the living oracles - Every period beginning with, And the Lord said unto Moses, is properly an oracle. But the oracles here intended are chiefly the ten commandments. These are termed living, because all the word of God, applied by his Spirit, is living and powerful, #Heb 4:12|, enlightening the eyes, rejoicing the heart, converting the soul, raising the dead. #Exod 19:3|.
