Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
You received God's law through angels themselves, but you didn't actually follow it.

📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Chapter 7, Stephen is delivering a bold speech before the Sanhedrin, a Jewish council, as he recounts Israel's history to expose their pattern of rejecting God's messengers. He references the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, which Jewish tradition describes as being mediated by angels, emphasizing the divine authority behind it. This accusation highlights the hypocrisy of the religious leaders who claimed to follow the Law but failed to do so, leading to Stephen's impending martyrdom.
