Identification of Egyptian persons or people · dominant
The adjective identifies a collective group in Acts 7:22, where the APB renders Moses' education as being in the wisdom of “the Egyptians,” and in Hebrews 11:29, where “the Egyptians” attempt the crossing. It also identifies singular men in Acts 21:38, Acts 7:24, and Acts 7:28; the APB renders the clauses with “the Egyptian,” including the man struck down and the figure accused of causing trouble.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “the Egyptian” for singular individuals and “the Egyptians” for plural groups. These renderings confirm the verse context rather than establish a separate nuance.
