Acts 7:10-21

¹⁰and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him ruler over Egypt and all his house.

¹¹Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no provisions.

¹²And Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

¹³And on the second visit Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.

¹⁴Then Joseph sent and summoned his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five people.

¹⁵So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers.

¹⁶And they were brought back to Shechem, and were placed in the tomb which Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.

¹⁷“Now when the time of the promise drew near which God swore to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸until there arose a different king, who did not know Joseph.

¹⁹This king took advantage of our race, and oppressed our fathers, to make their babies exposed, in order that they might not preserve their lives.

²⁰At this time Moses was born, and he was well pleasing to God; who was brought up in his father's house for three months.

²¹But when he was exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and brought him up for herself as a son.
