Acts7:34
I have seen, etc. The repetition of this word is in accordance with the usage of the Hebrew writers when they wish to represent anything emphatically.
Their groaning. Under their oppressions.
Am come down. This is spoken in accordance with human conceptions. It means that God was about to deliver them.
I will send this, etc. This is a mere summary of what is expressed at much greater length in Ex 3:7-10.
(*) "seen the affliction" "I have surely seen"
