In Acts 7:34, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause about God's people in Egypt; the APB renders the clause, "I have seen the oppression of my people in Egypt," before mentioning their groaning and rescue.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 7:34, the APB presents the term within "the oppression of my people in Egypt." This identifies the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical equation.
