Acts 7:2-16

2And 1Stephen saidG5346, “ListenG191 to me, 23brothersG435G80 and fathersG3962! 4The GodG2316 of gloryG1391 5appearedG3708 to our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 when he was in MesopotamiaG3318, beforeG4250 he livedG2730 in 6HaranG5488, 3and He saidG3004 to him, ‘7GoG1831 fromG1831 your countryG1093 and your relativesG4772, and comeG1204 to the landG1093 whichG3739 I will showG1166 you.’ 48ThenG5119 he leftG1831 the landG1093 of the ChaldeansG5466 and settledG2730 in 9HaranG5488. And 10fromG2547 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, 11He promisedG1861 that He would giveG1325 it to him as a possessionG2697, and to his descendantsG4690 afterG3326 him, even though he had no childG5043. 6But 12GodG2316 spokeG2980 toG3779 thisG3779 effectG3779, that his descendantsG4690 would be strangersG3941 in a landG1093 that was notG245 theirsG245, and 13they would enslaveG1402 and mistreatG2559 them for fourG5071 hundredG5071 yearsG2094. 7‘And whateverG3739G1437 nationG1484 to whichG3739 they are enslavedG1398 I MyselfG1473 will judgeG2919,’ saidG3004 GodG2316, ‘and 14afterG3326 that they will comeG1831 out and 15serveG3000 Me in thisG3778 placeG5117.’ 8And He 16gaveG1325 him 17the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061; and soG3779 18Abraham fatheredG1080 IsaacG2464, and circumcisedG4059 him on the eighthG3590 dayG2250; and 19IsaacG2464 fathered JacobG2384, and 20JacobG2384, the twelveG1427 21patriarchsG3966.

9“The patriarchsG3966 22becameG2206 jealousG2206 of JosephG2501 and soldG591 him into EgyptG125. Yet GodG2316 was with him, 10and rescuedG1807 him from allG3956 his afflictionsG2347, and 23grantedG1325 him favorG5485 and wisdomG4678 inG1726 theG1726 sightG1726 of PharaohG5328, kingG935 of EgyptG125, and he madeG2525 him governorG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 and his entireG3650 householdG3624.

11“NowG1161 24a famineG3042 cameG2064 overG1909 allG3650 EgyptG125 and CanaanG5477, and greatG3173 afflictionG2347 with it, and our fathersG3962 25could findG2147 noG3756 foodG5527. 12But 26when JacobG2384 heardG191 that there was grainG4619 in EgyptG125, he sentG1821 our fathersG3962 there the firstG4413 timeG4413. 13And on the secondG1208 visit, 27JosephG2501 28madeG1107 himself knownG1107 to his brothersG80, and 29Joseph’sG2501 familyG1085 was revealedG5318 to PharaohG5328. 14ThenG2532 30JosephG2501 sentG649 word and invitedG3333 his fatherG3962 JacobG2384 and allG3956 his relativesG4772 to come to him, 31seventy-fiveG1440G4002 3233peopleG5590 in all. 15And 34JacobG2384 wentG2597 downG2597 to EgyptG125, and he and our fathersG3962 diedG5053 there. 16And they were broughtG3346 backG3346 from there to 3536ShechemG4966 and laidG5087 in the tombG3418 whichG3739 AbrahamG11 had purchasedG5608 for a sumG5092 of moneyG694 from the sonsG5207 of 37HamorG1697 in 38ShechemG4966.
