Commentary on Acts 7:15
Jacob and 'our fathers' dying in Egypt fulfilled God's prophecy that Abraham's descendants would be strangers in a foreign land (Genesis 15:13). Yet their deaths were not the end—God's covenant transcends individual lifespans, being 'the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,' the God of the living (Mark 12:26-27). The patriarchs' faith persisted through death, trusting in resurrection and ultimate covenant fulfillment.
