Acts 7:12-21

¹²But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:

¹³And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.

¹⁴Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.

¹⁵So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,

¹⁶And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem.

¹⁷But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.

¹⁹The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue.

²⁰The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.

²¹And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
