Acts 13:16-18

16And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear 1God, hearken.

17The 2God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in [the] land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,

18and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.
