To deport, relocate, or cause to emigrate—forcibly moving people from their homeland. Stephen's speech uses it twice: God removed Israel's idolaters beyond Babylon (Acts 7:43), and Abraham migrated after his father's death (7:4, though some manuscripts use a different verb). Classical Greek used it for leading settlers to a new home or emigrating. The passive often means being exiled or deported. Later it could be used intransitively for voluntary emigration, but the biblical sense emphasizes God's action as judge and guide.
