Commentary on Acts 7:26
Moses attempted reconciliation between fighting Hebrews, addressing them as 'brethren' - emphasizing their covenant relationship that should produce unity. Yet even this peacemaking effort was rejected. The Greek word synellasen (appeared to them) suggests Moses' visible presence as mediator, foreshadowing Christ's mediatorial role. Reformed theology sees here the tragedy of a divided people who should be one in covenant bonds, requiring a greater Moses to truly reconcile God's people.
