Acts 7:2-8

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.
