|
After the Israelites left Egypt, they spent 40 years wandering around the wilderness before God led them into the land he had promised them.

|
# This Moses whom they rejected
|

This refers back to the events recorded in [Acts 7:27-28](./26.md).

# Who made you a ruler and a judge?
|
|
|

The hand is a metonym for the action performed by the person. In this case, the angel had commanded Moses to return to Egypt. Stephen speaks as if the angel had a physical hand. You may need to make explicit what action the angel did. AT: "by the action of the angel" or "by having the angel ... bush command him to return to Egypt" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# during forty years

Stephen's audience knew about the forty years the Israelites spent in the wilderness. AT: "during the 40 years that the Israelite people lived in the wilderness" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
