Acts 7:6-10

6But God spoke as follows: ‘Your descendants will be foreigners in a foreign country, whose citizens will enslave them and mistreat them for four hundred years.

7But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ said God, ‘and after these things they will come out of there and worship me in this place.’

8Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac and circumcised him when he was eight days old, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.

9The patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. But God was with him,

10and rescued him from all his troubles, and granted him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and over all his household.
