Acts 13:17-20

¹⁷The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.

¹⁸For about forty years he bore with them in the desert;

¹⁹then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people —

²⁰For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.
