Middle ἀμύνομαι, with accusative of person, to keep off, ward off, anyone from oneself; to defend oneself against anyone (so also 2 Macc. 10:17; Wis. 11:3; the Sept. Joshua 10:13); to take vengeance on anyone (Xenophon, an. 2, 3, 23; Josephus, Antiquities 9, 1, 2): Acts 7:24, where in thought supply τὸν ἀδικοῦντα [cf.
