Acts 7:2-8

2And he said, “Hear me, 1brethren and fathers! 2The God of glory 3appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in 4Haran, 3and said to him, ‘5Leave your country and your relatives, and come into the land that I will show you.’ 46Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in 7Haran. 8From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living. 5But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even when he had no child, 9He promised that He would give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him. 6But 10God spoke to this effect, that his descendants would be aliens in a foreign land, and that they would 11be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years. 7‘And whatever nation to which they will be in bondage I Myself will judge,’ said God, ‘and 12after that they will come out and 13serve Me in this place.’ 8And He 14gave him 15the covenant of circumcision; and so 16Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and 17Isaac became the father of Jacob, and 18Jacob of the twelve 19patriarchs.
