12Then Jacob heard that there was food in Egypt. So he sent his sons to Egypt to get food. They were our grand-fathers of a long time ago. They met Joseph there but he looked so different that they didn’t know him. Then they took that food home.
13After that, Jacob sent them to Egypt again to get more food, and this time Joseph told them, ‘I am your brother.’ And Pharaoh heard that Joseph had some brothers.
14Then Joseph sent his brothers to get his father Jacob, and all his family, to go and live in Egypt. So all 75 of them went to Egypt.
15That’s the way Jacob and his family went to Egypt, and after that they died there.
16Later their grand-kids took their bodies back to the place called Shechem and buried them in a cave. A long time before that their grand-father Abraham bought that cave from Hamor’s family. He paid the full price for that cave.”
17Stephen said to the Jewish council men, “Remember, a long time before that God told Abraham, ‘Your family will live in Egypt for a long time.’ And when it was almost time for God to bring them back from Egypt, they had lots of kids and grand-kids till they grew into a big mob of people.
18Then, a new man became the big boss of Egypt, and he didn’t know anything about Joseph.
19That big boss tricked our family and was very hard on them. He made our mob throw their baby boys into the river to kill them.
20Moses was born while that man was the big boss. Moses was a very good little baby, and his mother and father looked after him in their house for 3 months.
21After that they had to leave Moses out at the river, but just then the big boss’s daughter came along and found him, and she took him home and called him her own son.
