‏ Acts 7:40

 Gods which shall go before us ( θεους ο προπορευσοντα ημων ). Ex 32:1. As guides and protectors, perhaps with some allusion to the pillar of fire and of cloud that had gone before them (Ex 13:21). The future indicative here with  ο (relative) expresses purpose.

 Ye wot not ( ουκ οιδαμεν ). We do not know. How quickly they had forgotten both God and Moses while Moses was absent in the mount with God.

 Become of him ( εγενετο αυτω ). Happened to him. "This" ( ουτος ) here is a contemptuous allusion to Moses by the people.
