Acts 7:12-21

¹²But upon hearing that there was wheat in Egypt, Jacob first sent our fathers.

¹³On the second trip Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was presented to Pharaoh.

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

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

¹⁶and they were transferred to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor of Shechem.

¹⁷“Now as the time of the promise was approaching which God had sworn to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸until a different king arose who had not known Joseph.

¹⁹This man took advantage of our race and oppressed our fathers, making them expose their babies so that they would not stay alive.

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

²¹When he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him to herself and brought him up as her own son.
