Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Acts 7
¹² But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
¹³ And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
¹⁴ Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
¹⁵ So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
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.
¹⁷ But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
¹⁸ Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
¹⁹ The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
²⁰ In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
²¹ And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
²² And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
