AC-7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
AC-7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The
God of
glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in
Mesopotamia,
before he dwelt in Charran,
AC-7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from
thy
kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.
AC-7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and
dwelt in
Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed
him
into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
AC-7:5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not [so much
as]
to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him
for
a possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no
child.
AC-7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn
in
a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and
entreat [them] evil four hundred years.
AC-7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I
judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve
me
in this place.
AC-7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so
[Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and
Isaac
[begat] Jacob; and Jacob [begat] the twelve patriarchs.
AC-7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into
Egypt:
but God was with him,
AC-7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave
him
favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he
made
him governor over Egypt and all his house.
AC-7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and
Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no
sustenance.
AC-7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he
sent
out our fathers first.
AC-7:13 And at the second [time] Joseph was made known to his
brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
AC-7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to [him],
and
all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
AC-7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our
fathers,
AC-7:16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the
sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of
Emmor [the father] of Sychem.
AC-7:17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God
had
sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
AC-7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
AC-7:19 The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil
entreated
our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the
end
they might not live.
AC-7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair,
and
nourished up in his father's house three months:
AC-7:21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him
up,
and nourished him for her own son.
AC-7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians,
and was mighty in words and in deeds.
AC-7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his
heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
AC-7:24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended
[him],
and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
AC-7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how
that
God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
AC-7:26 And the next day he showed himself unto them as they
strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye
are
brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
AC-7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away,
saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
AC-7:28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian
yesterday?
AC-7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in
the
land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
AC-7:30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to
him in
the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of
fire
in a bush.
AC-7:31 When Moses saw [it], he wondered at the sight: and as he
drew near to behold [it], the voice of the Lord came unto him,
AC-7:32 [Saying], I [am] the God of thy fathers, the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses
trembled, and durst not behold.
AC-7:33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy
feet:
for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
AC-7:34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people
which
is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to
deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
AC-7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a
ruler
and a judge? the same did God send [to be] a ruler and a
deliverer
by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
AC-7:36 He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders
and
signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the
wilderness forty years.
AC-7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of
Israel,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
AC-7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness
