Acts 7:2-16

2AndG1161 he saidG5346, MenG435, brethrenG80, andG2532 fathersG3962, hearkenG191; The GodG3588G2316 of gloryG3588G1391 appearedG3708 untoG3588G3962 ourG1473 fatherG3588G3962 AbrahamG11, when he wasG1510 inG1722 MesopotamiaG3588G3318, beforeG4250 heG846 dweltG2730 inG1722 HaranG5488,

3AndG2532 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, Get thee outG1831 ofG1537 thyG4771 countryG3588G1093, andG2532 fromG1537 thyG4771 kindredG3588G4772, andG2532 comeG1204 intoG1519 the landG1093 whichG3739 I shall shewG1166 theeG4771.

4ThenG5119 came he outG1831 ofG1537 the landG1093 of the ChaldæansG5466, and dweltG2730 inG1722 HaranG5488: and from thenceG2547, whenG3326 hisG846 fatherG3588G3962 was deadG599, he removedG3351 himG846 intoG1519 thisG3778 landG3588G1093, whereinG1519 yeG4771 nowG3568 dwellG2730.

5AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 noneG3756 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 itG846, no, notG3761 so much as to set his foot onG968: yetG2532 he promisedG1861 that he would give itG1325 to himG846 for a possessionG2697, andG2532 toG3588G4690 hisG846 seedG3588G4690 afterG3326 himG846, whenG1510 as yet heG846 hadG1510 noG3756 childG5043.

6AndG1161 GodG3588G2316 spakeG2980 on this wiseG3779, ThatG3754 hisG846 seedG3588G4690 shouldG1510 sojournG3941 inG1722 a strangeG245 landG1093; andG2532 that they should bringG1402 themG846 into bondageG1402, andG2532 entreatG2559 them evilG2559 four hundredG5071 yearsG2094.

7AndG2532 the nationG3588G1484 to whomG3739 they shall be in bondageG1398 willG2919 IG1473 judgeG2919, saidG3004 GodG3588G2316: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG3778 shall they come forthG1831, andG2532 serveG3000 meG1473 inG1722 thisG3778 placeG3588G5117.

8AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061: andG2532 soG3779 Abraham begatG1080 IsaacG3588G2464, andG2532 circumcisedG4059 himG846 the eighthG3588G3590 dayG3588G2250; andG2532 IsaacG3588G2464 begat JacobG3588G2384; andG2532 JacobG3588G2384 begat theG3588G3966 twelveG1427 patriarchsG3588G3966.

9AndG2532 the patriarchsG3588G3966, moved with envyG2206, soldG591 JosephG2501 intoG1519 EgyptG125: butG2532 GodG3588G2316 wasG1510 withG3326 himG846,

10AndG2532 deliveredG1807 himG846 out ofG1537 allG3956 hisG846 afflictionsG3588G2347, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 favourG5485 andG2532 wisdomG4678 in the sight ofG1726 PharaohG5328 kingG935 of EgyptG125; andG2532 he madeG2525 himG846 governorG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 andG2532 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3588G3624.

11NowG1161 there cameG2064 a dearthG3042 overG1909 allG3650 the landG3588G1093 of EgyptG125 andG2532 CanaanG5477, andG2532 greatG3173 afflictionG2347: andG2532 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962 foundG2147 noG3756 sustenanceG5527.

12ButG1161 whenG191 JacobG2384 heardG191 that there wasG1510 grainG4621 inG1722 EgyptG125, he sent outG1821 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962 firstG4412.

13AndG2532 atG1722 the secondG1208 time JosephG2501 was made knownG319 toG3588G80 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80; andG2532 Joseph’sG2501 kindredG3588G1085 was madeG1096 knownG5318 unto PharaohG5328.

14ThenG1161 sentG649 JosephG2501, andG1161 calledG3333 hisG846 fatherG3588G3962 JacobG2384 toG1722 him, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 kindredG3588G4772, threescoreG1440 and fifteenG4002 soulsG5590.

15SoG1161 JacobG2384 went downG2597 intoG1519 EgyptG125, andG2532 diedG5053, heG846, andG2532 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962,

16AndG2532 were carried overG3346 intoG1519 ShechemG4966, andG2532 laidG5087 inG1722 the sepulchreG3588G3418 thatG3739 AbrahamG11 boughtG5608 for a sumG5092 of moneyG694 of the sonsG3588G5207 ofG3844 HamorG1697 the father ofG3844 ShechemG3588G4966.
