Acts 7:2-16

2And he saidG5346,

Brethren and fathersG3962, hearken: The GodG2316 of gloryG1391 appeared unto our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, when he wasG1510 in MesopotamiaG3318, before he dwelt in HaranG5488, 3and saidG3004 unto him, Get thee out of thy landG1093, and from thy kindred, and comeG1831 into the landG1093 which I shall showG1166 thee. 4ThenG5119 cameG1831 he out of the landG1093 of the Chaldæans, and dwelt in HaranG5488: and from thence, when his fatherG3962 was deadG599, God removed him into this landG1093, wherein ye nowG3568 dwellG2730: 5and he gaveG1325 him none inheritanceG2817 in it, no, not so much as to set his footG4228 on: and he promisedG1861 that he would giveG1325 it to him in possessionG2697, and to his seedG4690 after him, when as yet he had no childG5043. 6And GodG2316 spake on this wise, that his seedG4690 should sojourn in a strange landG1093, and that they should bring them into bondageG1402, and treat them ill, fourG5071 hundredG5071 yearsG2094. 7And the nationG1484 to which they shall be in bondage will I judgeG2919, saidG3004 GodG2316: and after that shall they comeG1831 forthG1831, and serveG1398 me in this placeG5117. 8And he gaveG1325 him the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061: and so Abraham begat IsaacG2464, and circumcised him the eighthG3590 dayG2250; and IsaacG2464 begat JacobG2384, and JacobG2384 the twelveG1427 patriarchsG3966. 9And the patriarchsG3966, moved with jealousy against JosephG2501, sold him into EgyptG125: and GodG2316 wasG1510 with him, 10and delivered him out of all his afflictionsG2347, and gaveG1325 him favorG5485 and wisdomG4678 before PharaohG5328 kingG935 of EgyptG125; and he made him governor over EgyptG125 and all his houseG3624. 11NowG1161 there cameG2064 a famineG3042 over all EgyptG125 and CanaanG5477, and greatG3173 afflictionG2347: and our fathersG3962 foundG2147 no sustenance. 12But when JacobG2384 heardG191 that there wasG1510 grainG4621 in EgyptG125, he sent forthG1821 our fathersG3962 the firstG4413 time. 13And at the secondG1208 timeG1208 JosephG2501 was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s raceG1085 becameG1096 manifest unto PharaohG5328. 14And JosephG2501 sentG649, and calledG3333 to him JacobG2384 his fatherG3962, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen soulsG5590. 15And JacobG2384 wentG2597 downG2597 into EgyptG125; and he died, himself and our fathersG3962; 16and they were carried over unto ShechemG4966, and laidG5087 in the tombG3418 that AbrahamG11 bought for a priceG5092 in silverG694 of the sonsG5207 of Hamor in ShechemG4966.
