Abstract:
Stephen, in his defense recorded in Acts 7, mentions the fact that Moses’ parents hid him against the direct command of Pharaoh to kill the baby because they saw that he was “exceeding faire” (Acts 7.20, King James Version). This paper discusses the origins of this novel translation of the Greek text ἀστεῖος τῷ θεῷ (beautiful to God), which does not follow previous English translations. Rather, the translation reflects the use of the Elohim superlative from the KJV Old Testament.
