Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Acts 7
¹³ And the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to the Pharaoh.
¹⁴ Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people.
¹⁵ So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers.
¹⁶ And they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
¹⁷ "But when the time of the promise drew near which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt
¹⁸ till another king arose who did not know Joseph.
¹⁹ This man dealt treacherously with our people, and oppressed our forefathers, making them expose their babies, so that they might not live.
²⁰ At this time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father’s house for three months.
²¹ But when he was set out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son.
²² And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.
²³ Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
