Acts 7:6-10
6But 1GodG2316 spokeG2980 to thisG3779 effectG3779, that his descendantsG4690 would be aliensG3941 in a foreignG245 landG1093, and that they would 2be 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 3afterG3326 that they will comeG1831 out and 4serveG3000 Me in thisG3778 placeG5117.’ 8And He 5gaveG1325 him 6the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061; and soG3779 7Abraham becameG1080 the fatherG1080 of IsaacG2464, and circumcisedG4059 him on the eighthG3590 dayG2250; and 8IsaacG2464 became the father of JacobG2384, and 9JacobG2384 of the twelveG1427 10patriarchsG3966.
9“The patriarchsG3966 11became jealousG2206 of JosephG2501 and soldG591 him into EgyptG125. Yet GodG2316 was with him, 10and rescuedG1807 him from allG3956 his afflictionsG2347, and 12grantedG1325 him favorG5485 and wisdomG4678 in the sightG1727 of PharaohG5328, kingG935 of EgyptG125, and he madeG2525 him governorG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 and allG3650 his householdG3624.
