New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Acts 7
¹³ On the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was disclosed to Pharaoh.
¹⁴ Then Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five persons in all.
¹⁵ And Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died.
¹⁶ From there they were removed to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
¹⁷ "But as the time of the promise was approaching which God had assured to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
¹⁸ until there arose another king over Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.
¹⁹ It was he who took shrewd advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers so that they would expose their infants and they would not survive.
²⁰ It was at this time that Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father’s home.
²¹ And after he had been set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and nurtured him as her own son.
²² Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds.
²³ But when he was approaching the age of forty, it entered his mind to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
