¹⁷ The God of the people of Israel chose our forefathers, and gave our people prosperity during their stay in the land of Egypt. Then with his mighty power he led them out of Egypt,

¹⁷ A long time ago the God of us Jewish people picked our grand-fathers of long ago to be his own people. They went to the country called Egypt to live, and while they were there, God made them strong, and they had a lot of kids. So they became a really big mob of people. Then God used his great power and took them out of that country.

¹⁸ Then they were in the desert country for 40 years. Sometimes they didn’t listen to God, but he looked after them anyway.

¹⁹ Then they came to the country called Canaan, and God helped them fight against 7 different tribes, and they won. They killed all their enemies, and God gave that country to his own people to keep.

¹⁶ Then Paul stode vp and beckened with the honde and sayde: Men of Israel and ye that feare God geve audiece.
