Acts 7:17-45

17But as the timeG5550 of the promiseG1860 drew nigh which GodG2316 vouchsafed unto AbrahamG11, the peopleG2992 grewG837 and multipliedG4129 in EgyptG125, 18till there aroseG450 another kingG935 over EgyptG125, who knew not JosephG2501. 19The sameG846 dealt craftily with our raceG1085, and ill-treated our fathersG3962, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live. 20At which seasonG2540 MosesG3475 wasG1510 bornG1080, and wasG1510 exceeding fair; and he wasG1510 nourished threeG5140 monthsG3376 in his father’sG3962 houseG3624: 21and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughterG2364 took him up, and nourished him for her ownG1438 sonG5207. 22And MosesG3475 wasG1510 instructed in all the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124; and he wasG1510 mightyG1415 in his wordsG3056 and worksG2041. 23But whenG5613 he was well-nigh fortyG5063 years old, it cameG305 into his heartG2588 to visitG1980 his brethren the children of IsraelG2474. 24And seeingG3708 oneG5100 of them suffer wrongG91, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the EgyptianG124: 25and he supposed that his brethren understoodG4920 that GodG2316 by his handG5495 was givingG1325 them deliverance; but they understoodG4920 not. 26And the dayG2250 following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at oneG240 again, sayingG3004, Sirs, ye areG1510 brethren; why do ye wrongG91 oneG240 to another? 27But he that did his neighbor wrongG91 thrust him awayG683, sayingG3004, Who made thee a rulerG758 and a judgeG1348 over us? 28Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the EgyptianG124 yesterdayG5504? 29And MosesG3475 fledG5343 at this sayingG3056, and becameG1096 a sojourner in the landG1093 of Midian, whereG3757 he begat twoG1417 sonsG5207. 30And when fortyG5062 yearsG2094 were fulfilled, an angelG32 appeared to him in the wildernessG2048 of mountG3735 SinaiG4614, in a flameG5395 of fireG4442 in a bushG942. 31And when MosesG3475 sawG3708 it, he wonderedG2296 at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there cameG4334 a voiceG5456 of the LordG2962, 32I am the GodG2316 of thy fathersG3962, the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, and of IsaacG2464, and of JacobG2384. And MosesG3475 trembled, and durst not behold. 33And the LordG2962 saidG3004 unto him, LooseG3089 the shoes from thy feetG4228: for the placeG5117 whereon thou standest isG1510 holyG40 groundG1093. 34I have surely seenG3708 the affliction of my peopleG2992 that is in EgyptG125, and have heardG191 their groaning, and I am comeG1204 down to deliver them: and nowG3568 comeG1204, I will sendG649 thee into EgyptG125. 35This MosesG3475 whom they refused, sayingG3004, Who made thee a rulerG758 and a judgeG1348? him hath GodG2316 sentG649 to be both a rulerG758 and a deliverer with the handG5495 of the angelG32 that appeared to him in the bushG942. 36This manG3778 led them forth, having wrought wondersG5059 and signsG4592 in EgyptG125, and in the RedG2063 seaG2281, and in the wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 yearsG2094. 37This isG1510 that MosesG3475, who saidG3004 unto the children of IsraelG2474, A prophetG4396 shall GodG2316 raiseG450 up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me. 38This isG1510 he that wasG1510 in the churchG1577 in the wildernessG2048 with the angelG32 that spake to him in the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, and with our fathersG3962: who receivedG1209 livingG2198 oracles to giveG1325 unto us: 39to whom our fathersG3962 would not be obedientG5255, but thrust him from them, and turnedG4762 back in their heartsG2588 unto EgyptG125, 40sayingG3004 unto AaronG2, MakeG4160 us godsG2316 that shall goG4313 before us: for as for this MosesG3475, who led us forth out of the landG1093 of EgyptG125, we know not what is becomeG1096 of him. 41And they made a calf in those daysG2250, and broughtG321 a sacrificeG2378 unto the idolG1497, and rejoiced in the worksG2041 of their handsG5495. 42But GodG2316 turnedG4762, and gave them up to serveG3000 the hostG4756 of heavenG3772; as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the prophetsG4396,

Did ye offerG4374 unto me slain beasts and sacrificesG2378FortyG5062 yearsG2094 in the wildernessG2048, O houseG3624 of IsraelG2474?43And ye tookG353 up the tabernacleG4633 of Moloch,And the starG798 of the godG2316 Rephan,The figures which ye madeG4160 to worshipG4352 them:And I will carry you away beyond BabylonG897.

44Our fathersG3962 had the tabernacleG4633 of the testimonyG3142 in the wildernessG2048, even as he appointed who spake unto MosesG3475, that he should makeG4160 it accordingG2596 to the figure that he had seenG3708. 45Which alsoG2532 our fathersG3962, in their turn, broughtG1521 in with Joshua when they entered on the possessionG2697 of the nationsG1484, that GodG2316 thrust out before the faceG4383 of our fathersG3962, unto the daysG2250 of DavidG1138;
