Acts 7:2-16
2And he saidG5346, Brethren and fathersG3962, hearken. The 1GodG2316 of gloryG1391 appeared to our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 when he wasG1510 in MesopotamiaG3318, before he dwelt in Charran,
3and saidG3004 to him, GoG1831 out of thy landG1093 and out of thy kindred, and comeG1831 into the landG1093 which I will shew thee.
4ThenG5119 goingG1831 out of the landG1093 of the Chaldeans he dwelt in Charran, and thence, after his fatherG3962 diedG599, he removed him into this landG1093 in which ye nowG3568 dwellG2730.
5And he did not giveG1325 him an inheritanceG2817 in it, not evenG2532 what his footG4228 could stand on; and promisedG1861 to giveG1325 it to him for a possessionG2697, and to his seedG4690 after him, when he had no childG5043.
6And 2GodG2316 spokeG2980 thusG3779: His seedG4690 shall beG1510 a sojourner in a strange landG1093, and they shall enslave them and evil entreat [them] fourG5071 hundredG5071 yearsG2094;
7and the nationG1484 to which they shall be in bondage will I judgeG2919, saidG3004 3GodG2316; and after these thingsG3778 they shall comeG1831 forthG1831 and serveG1398 me in this placeG5117.
8And he gaveG1325 to him [the] covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061; and thusG3779 he begat IsaacG2464 and circumcised him the eighthG3590 dayG2250; and IsaacG2464 JacobG2384, and JacobG2384 the twelveG1427 patriarchsG3966.
9And the patriarchsG3966, envying JosephG2501, sold him away into EgyptG125. And 4GodG2316 wasG1510 with him,
10and delivered him out of all his tribulationsG2347, and gaveG1325 him favour and wisdomG4678 in the sight of PharaohG5328 kingG935 of EgyptG125, and he appointedG2525 him chief over EgyptG125 and all his houseG3624.
11But a famineG3042 cameG2064 upon all the land of EgyptG125 and CanaanG5477, and greatG3173 distress, and our fathersG3962 foundG2147 no food.
12But JacobG2384, having heardG191 of there beingG1510 corn in EgyptG125, sent out our fathersG3962 firstG4413;
13and the secondG1208 timeG1208 JosephG2501 was made known to his brethren, and the familyG1085 of JosephG2501 becameG1096 known to PharaohG5328.
14And JosephG2501 sentG649 and calledG3333 down to him his fatherG3962 JacobG2384 and all [his] kindred, seventy-five soulsG5590.
15And JacobG2384 wentG2597 downG2597 into EgyptG125 and died, he and our fathersG3962,
16and were carried over to Sychem and placedG5087 in the sepulchre which AbrahamG11 bought for a sum of moneyG694 of the sonsG5207 of Emmor the [father] of Sychem.
