Acts 7:10-21

¹⁰And made him free from all his troubles, and gave him wisdom and the approval of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and all his house.

¹¹Now there was no food to be had in all Egypt and Canaan, and there was great trouble: and our fathers were not able to get food.

¹²But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers the first time.

¹³And the second time his brothers had a meeting with Joseph, and Pharaoh had knowledge of Joseph's family.

¹⁴Then Joseph sent for Jacob his father and all his family, seventy-five persons.

¹⁵And Jacob went down to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;

¹⁶And they were taken over to Shechem, and put to rest in the place which Abraham got for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

¹⁷But when the time was near for putting into effect the undertaking which God had given to Abraham, the people were increasing in Egypt,

¹⁸Till another king came to power, who had no knowledge of Joseph.

¹⁹He, having evil designs against our nation, was cruel to our fathers, and they were forced to put out their young children, so that they might not go on living.

²⁰At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:

²¹And when he was put out, Pharaoh's daughter took him and kept him as her son.
