Acts 7:2-8
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.
