Acts 7:2-8

2And 1Stephen said, “Listen to me, 23brothers and fathers! 4The God of glory 5appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in 6Haran, 3and He said to him, ‘7Go from your country and your relatives, and come to the land which I will show you.’ 48Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in 9Haran. And 10from 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, 11He promised that He would give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him, even though he had no child. 6But 12God spoke to this effect, that his descendants would be strangers in a land that was not theirs, and 13they would enslave and mistreat them for four hundred years. 7‘And whatever nation to which they are enslaved I Myself will judge,’ said God, ‘and 14after that they will come out and 15serve Me in this place.’ 8And He 16gave him 17the covenant of circumcision; and so 18Abraham fathered Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and 19Isaac fathered Jacob, and 20Jacob, the twelve 21patriarchs.
