Acts 7:2-37

2AndG2532 heG2532 saidG5346, BrethrenG80 andG2532 fathersG3962, hearken. TheG3588 GodG2316 ofG2316 gloryG1391 appearedG3708 unto ourG2316 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, whenG2532 heG2532 wasG1510 inG1722 MesopotamiaG3318, beforeG4250 heG2532 dwelt inG1722 HaranG5488,

3andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, GetG1831 thee outG1831 ofG1537 thy landG1093, andG2532 fromG1537 thy kindred, andG2532 comeG1831 intoG1519 theG3588 landG1093 whichG3739 IG3739 shallG2532 shew thee.

4ThenG5119 cameG1831 heG846 outG1831 ofG1537 theG3588 landG1093 ofG1537 theG3588 Chaldaeans, andG3962 dwelt inG1722 HaranG5488: andG3962 fromG1537 thence, whenG1722 hisG846 fatherG3962 was deadG599, GodG846 removed himG846 intoG1519 thisG3778 landG1093, wherein ye nowG3568 dwellG2730:

5andG2532 heG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 noneG3756 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 itG846, noG3756, notG3756 soG2532 much asG1519 toG1519 set hisG846 footG4228 onG1722: andG2532 heG2532 promisedG1861 thatG846 heG2532 wouldG846 giveG1325 itG846 toG1519 himG846 inG1722 possessionG2697, andG2532 toG1519 hisG846 seedG4690 afterG3326 himG846, whenG2532 asG1519 yetG2532 heG2532 hadG1510 noG3756 childG5043.

6AndG2532 GodG2316 spake onG1722 thisG3779 wise, thatG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 shouldG2316 sojourn inG1722 aG1510 strange landG1093, andG2532 thatG3754 theyG846 shouldG2316 bring themG846 intoG1722 bondageG1402, andG2532 entreat themG846 evil, fourG5071 hundredG5071 yearsG2094.

7AndG2532 theG3588 nationG1484 toG3004 whichG3739 theyG3739 shallG3778 beG2532 inG1722 bondageG1398 willG2316 IG1473 judgeG2919, saidG3004 GodG2316: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG3739 shallG3778 theyG3739 comeG1831 forthG1831, andG2532 serveG1398 meG3004 inG1722 thisG3778 placeG5117.

8AndG2532 heG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 theG3588 covenantG1242 ofG1080 circumcisionG4061: andG2532 soG2532 AbrahamG846 begat IsaacG2464, andG2532 circumcisedG4061 himG846 theG3588 eighthG3590 dayG2250; andG2532 IsaacG2464 begat JacobG2384, andG2532 JacobG2384 theG3588 twelveG1427 patriarchsG3966.

9AndG2532 theG3588 patriarchsG3966, moved withG3326 jealousy againstG1519 JosephG2501, soldG591 himG846 intoG1519 EgyptG125: andG2532 GodG2316 wasG1510 withG3326 himG846,

10andG2532 delivered himG846 outG1537 ofG1537 allG3956 hisG846 afflictionsG2347, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 favour andG2532 wisdomG4678 beforeG1909 PharaohG5328 kingG935 ofG1537 EgyptG125; andG2532 heG2532 madeG2525 himG846 governorG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3624.

11NowG1161 thereG1161 cameG2064 a famineG3042 overG1909 allG3650 EgyptG125 andG2532 CanaanG5477, andG2532 greatG3173 afflictionG2347: andG2532 ourG2532 fathersG3962 foundG2147 noG3756 sustenance.

12ButG1161 whenG1161 JacobG2384 heardG191 thatG191 thereG1510 wasG1510 corn inG1519 EgyptG125, heG1161 sentG1821 forthG1821 ourG1821 fathersG3962 theG3588 firstG4413 timeG4413.

13AndG2532 at theG3588 secondG1208 timeG1208 JosephG2501 was madeG1096 knownG5318 toG2532 hisG846 brethrenG80; andG2532 Joseph’sG2501 raceG1085 becameG1096 manifest unto PharaohG5328.

14AndG2532 JosephG2501 sentG649, andG2532 calledG3333 toG2532 himG846 JacobG2384 hisG846 fatherG3962, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 kindred, threescore andG2532 fifteen soulsG5590.

15AndG2532 JacobG2384 wentG2597 downG2597 intoG1519 EgyptG125; andG2532 heG2532 diedG5053, himselfG846, andG2532 ourG2532 fathersG3962;

16andG2532 theyG3739 were carried overG1519 unto ShechemG4966, andG2532 laidG5087 inG1722 theG3588 tombG3418 thatG3739 AbrahamG11 bought forG1519 a priceG5092 inG1722 silverG694 ofG5207 theG3588 sonsG5207 ofG5207 HamorG1697 inG1722 ShechemG4966.

17ButG1161 asG2531 theG3588 timeG5550 ofG2316 theG3588 promiseG1860 drew nigh, whichG3739 GodG2316 vouchsafed unto AbrahamG11, theG3588 peopleG2992 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129 inG1722 EgyptG125,

18till thereG1492 aroseG450 anotherG2087 kingG935 overG1909 EgyptG125, whichG3739 knewG1492 notG3756 JosephG2501.

19TheG3588 sameG846 dealtG4160 subtilly withG1519 ourG4160 raceG1085, andG3962 evil entreated ourG4160 fathersG3962, thatG3778 theyG846 shouldG3778 cast outG4160 theirG846 babes toG1519 theG3588 endG1519 theyG846 mightG1473 notG3361 live.

20At whichG3739 seasonG2540 MosesG3475 wasG1510 bornG1080, andG2532 wasG1510 exceeding fair; andG2532 heG2532 wasG1510 nourished threeG5140 monthsG3376 inG1722 hisG3739 father’sG3962 houseG3624:

21andG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 was cast outG1438, Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG2364 tookG337 himG846 upG1519, andG2532 nourished himG846 forG1519 herG846 ownG1438 sonG5207.

22AndG2532 MosesG3475 wasG1510 instructed inG1722 allG3956 theG3956 wisdomG4678 ofG3056 theG3956 EgyptiansG124; andG2532 heG2532 wasG1510 mightyG1415 inG1722 hisG846 wordsG3056 andG2532 worksG2041.

23ButG1161 whenG5613 heG846 was well-nigh fortyG5063 years old, itG846 cameG305 intoG305 hisG846 heartG2588 toG1909 visitG1980 hisG846 brethrenG80 theG3588 children ofG5207 IsraelG2474.

24AndG2532 seeingG3708 oneG5100 ofG5100 themG4160 sufferG3708 wrongG91, heG2532 defended himG3708, andG2532 avengedG1557 himG3708 thatG3708 was oppressedG2669, smiting theG3588 EgyptianG124:

25andG1161 heG846 supposedG3543 thatG3754 hisG846 brethrenG80 understoodG4920 howG3754 thatG3754 GodG2316 byG1223 hisG846 handG5495 was givingG1325 themG846 deliveranceG4991; butG1161 theyG846 understoodG4920 notG3756.

26AndG2532 theG3588 dayG2250 following heG2532 appearedG3708 unto themG846 asG1519 theyG846 strove, andG2532 wouldG846 haveG1510 set themG846 at oneG240 againG2532, sayingG3004, Sirs, ye areG1510 brethrenG80; whyG2444 doG1510 ye wrongG91 oneG240 toG1519 anotherG240?

27ButG1161 heG2532 thatG3004 didG758 hisG846 neighbour wrongG91 thrust himG846 awayG683, sayingG3004, WhoG3588 madeG2525 thee a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348 overG1909 usG3004?

28Wouldest thou killG337 meG1473, asG5158 thou killedst theG3588 EgyptianG124 yesterdayG5504?

29AndG2532 MosesG3475 fledG5343 at thisG3778 sayingG3056, andG2532 becameG1096 a sojourner inG1722 theG3588 landG1093 ofG5207 MidianG3099, whereG3757 heG2532 begat twoG1417 sonsG5207.

30AndG2532 whenG2532 fortyG5062 yearsG2094 were fulfilledG4137, anG32 angelG32 appearedG3708 toG2532 himG846 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048 ofG1722 mountG3735 SinaiG4614, inG1722 a flameG5395 ofG1722 fireG4442 inG1722 a bushG942.

31AndG1161 whenG1161 MosesG3475 sawG3708 itG846, heG846 wonderedG2296 at theG3588 sightG3705: andG1161 asG1096 heG846 drew nearG4334 toG4334 beholdG3708, thereG1161 cameG4334 a voiceG5456 ofG2962 theG3588 LordG2962,

32IG1473 amG5111 theG3588 GodG2316 ofG2316 thy fathersG3962, theG3588 GodG2316 ofG2316 AbrahamG11, andG2532 ofG2316 IsaacG2464, andG2532 ofG2316 JacobG2384. AndG2532 MosesG3475 trembled, andG2532 durst notG3756 behold.

33AndG1161 theG3588 LordG2962 saidG3004 unto himG846, LooseG3089 theG3588 shoesG5266 fromG2962 thy feetG4228: forG1063 theG3588 placeG5117 whereon thou standest isG1510 holyG40 groundG1093.

34IG1473 have surely seenG3708 theG3588 affliction ofG1722 myG191 peopleG2992 whichG3588 is inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 have heardG191 theirG846 groaningG4726, andG2532 IG1473 amG1473 comeG1204 downG2597 toG1519 deliver themG846: andG2532 nowG3568 comeG1204, IG1473 willG2532 sendG649 thee intoG1519 EgyptG125.

35ThisG3778 MosesG3475 whomG3739 theyG846 refusedG720, sayingG3004, WhoG3739 madeG2525 thee a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348? himG846 hath GodG2316 sentG649 toG3004 beG2532 bothG2532 a rulerG758 andG2532 a delivererG3086 withG1722 theG3588 handG5495 ofG2316 theG3588 angelG32 whichG3739 appearedG3708 toG3004 himG846 inG1722 theG3588 bushG942.

36ThisG3778 manG3778 ledG1806 themG846 forthG4160, havingG4160 wrought wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 RedG2063 seaG2281, andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 yearsG2094.

37ThisG3778 isG1510 thatG3004 MosesG3475, whichG3588 saidG3004 unto theG3588 children ofG5207 IsraelG2474, A prophetG4396 shallG4396 GodG2316 raiseG450 upG450 unto youG5210 fromG1537 amongG1537 yourG3588 brethrenG80, likeG5613 unto meG3004.
