Exegesis
The subject phrase hoi pateres hēmōn {οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν | hoi pa-té-res hē-môn} appears after the infinitive, slightly delaying identification of the agents and keeping initial focus on their stance toward the one addressed.
In context — Acts 7:39
To whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt .
