Acts 7:2-8
2And he saidG5346, “HearG191 me, 1brethrenG435G80 and fathersG3962! 2The GodG2316 of gloryG1391 3appearedG3708 to our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 when he was in MesopotamiaG3318, beforeG4250 he livedG2730 in 4HaranG5488, 3and saidG3004 to him, ‘5LeaveG1831 your countryG1093 and your relativesG4772, and comeG1204 into the landG1093 that I will showG1166 you.’ 46ThenG5119 he leftG1831 the landG1093 of the ChaldeansG5466 and settledG2730 in 7HaranG5488. 8From thereG2547, afterG3326 his fatherG3962 diedG599, God had him moveG3351 to thisG3778 countryG1093 in whichG3739 you are nowG3568 livingG2730. 5But He gaveG1325 him noG3756 inheritanceG2817 in it, not evenG3761 a footG4228 of groundG968, and yet, even when he had noG3756 childG5043, 9He promisedG1861 that He would giveG1325 it to him as a possessionG2697, and to his descendantsG4690 afterG3326 him. 6But 10GodG2316 spokeG2980 to thisG3779 effectG3779, that his descendantsG4690 would be aliensG3941 in a foreignG245 landG1093, and that they would 11be enslavedG1402 and mistreatedG2559 for fourG5071 hundredG5071 yearsG2094. 7‘And whateverG3739G1437 nationG1484 to whichG3739 they will be in bondageG1398 I MyselfG1473 will judgeG2919,’ saidG3004 GodG2316, ‘and 12afterG3326 that they will comeG1831 out and 13serveG3000 Me in thisG3778 placeG5117.’ 8And He 14gaveG1325 him 15the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061; and soG3779 16Abraham becameG1080 the fatherG1080 of IsaacG2464, and circumcisedG4059 him on the eighthG3590 dayG2250; and 17IsaacG2464 became the father of JacobG2384, and 18JacobG2384 of the twelveG1427 19patriarchsG3966.
