Acts 7:2-37
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. 17ButG1161 whenG2531 the timeG3588G5550 of the promiseG3588G1860 drew nighG1448, whichG3739 GodG3588G2316 had swornG3660 to AbrahamG11, the peopleG3588G2992 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129 inG1722 EgyptG125, 18TillG891 anotherG2087 kingG935 aroseG450, whichG3739 knewG1492 notG3756 JosephG2501. 19The sameG3778 dealt subtillyG2686 withG3588G1085 ourG1473 kindredG3588G1085, and evil entreatedG2559 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962, so that theyG4160 cast outG1570 theirG846 young childrenG3588G1025, to the endG1519 they mightG2225 notG3361 liveG2225. 20InG1722 whichG3739 timeG2540 MosesG3475 was bornG1080, andG2532 wasG1510 exceedingG3588G2316 fairG791, andG2532 nourished upG397 inG1722 hisG846 father’sG3588G3962 houseG3588G3624 threeG5140 monthsG3376: 21AndG1161 whenG1620 heG846 was cast outG1620, Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG3588G2364 tookG397 himG846 up, and nourishedG397 himG846 forG1519 her ownG1438 sonG5207. 22AndG2532 MosesG3475 was learnedG3811 in allG3956 the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124, andG1161 wasG1510 mightyG1415 inG1722 wordsG3056 andG2532 inG1722 deedsG2041. 23AndG1161 whenG5613 heG846 was fullG4137 forty yearsG5063 oldG5550, it cameG305 intoG1909 hisG846 heartG3588G2588 to visitG1980 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80 the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474. 24AndG2532 seeingG3708 oneG5100 of them suffer wrongG91, he defendedG292 him, andG2532 avengedG1557 him that was oppressedG2669, andG2532 smoteG3960 the EgyptianG124: 25ForG1161 he supposedG3543 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80 would have understoodG4920 how thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 byG1223 hisG846 handG5495 would deliverG1325 themG846: butG1161 they understoodG4920 notG3756. 26AndG1161 the nextG3588G1966 dayG2250 he shewed himselfG3708 unto themG846 as they stroveG3164, andG2532 would have setG4900 themG846 atG1519 oneG1515 againG4900, sayingG3004, SirsG435, yeG4771 areG1510 brethrenG80; whyG5101 do ye wrongG91 one to anotherG240? 27ButG1161 he that didG91 his neighbourG4139 wrongG91 thrustG683 himG846 awayG683, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4771 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348 overG1909 usG1473? 28WiltG3361 thouG4771 killG337 meG1473, asG3739G5158 thou diddestG337 the EgyptianG3588G124 yesterdayG5504? 29ThenG1161 fledG5343 MosesG3475 atG1722 thisG3778 sayingG3588G3056, andG2532 wasG1096 a strangerG3941 inG1722 the landG1093 of MidianG3099, whereG3757 he begatG1080 twoG1417 sonsG5207. 30AndG2532 whenG4137 fortyG5062 yearsG2094 were expiredG4137, there appearedG3708 to himG846 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of mountG3588G3735 SinaiG4614 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 inG1722 a flameG5395 of fireG4442 in a bushG942. 31WhenG1161 MosesG3475 sawG3708 it, he wonderedG2296 at the sightG3588G3705: andG1161 as he drew nearG4334 to beholdG2657 it, the voiceG5456 of the LordG2962 cameG1096 untoG4314 himG846, 32Saying, IG1473 am the GodG3588G2316 ofG3588G3962 thyG4771 fathersG3588G3962, the GodG3588G2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of JacobG2384. ThenG1161 MosesG3475 trembledG1790, and durstG5111 notG3756 beholdG2657. 33ThenG1161 saidG3004 the LordG3588G2962 to himG846, Put offG3089 thyG4771 shoesG3588G5266 fromG3588G4228 thyG4771 feetG3588G4228: forG1063 the placeG5117 whereG3739 thou standestG2476 isG1510 holyG40 groundG1093. 34I have seenG3708, I have seenG3708 the afflictionG3588G2561 ofG3588G2992 myG1473 peopleG3588G2992 whichG3588 is inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 I have heardG191 theirG846 groaningG3588G4726, andG2532 am come downG2597 to deliverG1807 themG846. AndG2532 nowG3568 comeG1204, I will sendG649 theeG4771 intoG1519 EgyptG125. 35ThisG3778 MosesG3588G3475 whomG3739 they refusedG720, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4771 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348? the sameG3778 didG649 GodG3588G2316 sendG649 to be a rulerG758 andG2532 a delivererG3086 byG1722 the handG5495 of the angelG32 whichG3588 appearedG3708 to himG846 inG1722 the bushG942. 36HeG3778 broughtG1806 themG846 outG1806, after that he had shewedG4160 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 inG1722 theG2281 Red seaG2281, andG2532 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 yearsG2094. 37
ThisG3778 isG1510 thatG3778 MosesG3588G3475, which saidG3004 unto the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474, A prophetG4396 shallG450 the LordG2962 yourG4771 GodG3588G2316 raise upG450 unto youG4771 ofG1537 yourG4771 brethrenG3588G80, likeG5613 unto meG1473; himG846 shall ye hearG191.
