Acts 7:1–21
Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 2 And he said,
aMen, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in bMesopotamia, cbefore he dwelt in Charran, 3 And said unto him, dGet thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 4 Then ccame he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, ewhen his father was dead, fhe gremoved him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that hhe would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, iwhen as yet he had no child. 6 And God spake on this wise, That khis seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil lfour hundred years. 7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and mserve me in this place. 8 And nhe gave him the covenant of circumcision: and oso Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and pIsaac begat Jacob; and qJacob begat the twelve rpatriarchs. 9 And rthe patriarchs, smoved with envy, tsold Joseph into Egypt: but uGod was with him, 10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and xgave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11 yNow there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. 12 zBut when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 13 And aat the second time Joseph bwas made known to his brethren; and cJoseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. 14 dThen sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and eall his kindred, fthreescore and fifteen gsouls. 15 So Jacob hwent down into Egypt, and idied, he, and jour fathers, 16 And kwere carried over into lSychem, and laid in the sepulchre that mAbraham bought for a sum of money mnof the sons of Emmor othe father of Sychem. 17 But when pthe time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, qthe people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 18 Till another king arose, rwhich knew not Joseph. 19 The same sdealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, tso that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not ulive. 20 In which time xMoses was born, and was ||exceeding yfair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months: 21 And zwhen he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
