Acts 7:5-8

5But He gaveG1325 him noG3756 inheritanceG2817 in it, not evenG3761 a footG4228 of groundG968, and yet, even when he had noG3756 childG5043, 1He promisedG1861 that He would giveG1325 it to him as a possessionG2697, and to his descendantsG4690 afterG3326 him. 6But 2GodG2316 spokeG2980 to thisG3779 effectG3779, that his descendantsG4690 would be aliensG3941 in a foreignG245 landG1093, and that they would 3be 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 4afterG3326 that they will comeG1831 out and 5serveG3000 Me in thisG3778 placeG5117.’ 8And He 6gaveG1325 him 7the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061; and soG3779 8Abraham becameG1080 the fatherG1080 of IsaacG2464, and circumcisedG4059 him on the eighthG3590 dayG2250; and 9IsaacG2464 became the father of JacobG2384, and 10JacobG2384 of the twelveG1427 11patriarchsG3966.
