Acts 7:13-24

¹³When Joseph's brothers went to Egypt the second time, they again bought grain from Joseph. But this time he told them who he was. And people told Pharaoh that Joseph's people were Hebrews and that those men who had come from Canaan were his brothers.

¹⁴Then after Joseph sent his brothers back home, they told their father Jacob that Joseph wanted him and his entire family to come to Egypt. At that time ◄ Jacob's family consisted of seventy-five people/there were seventy-five people in Jacob's family► SYN.

¹⁵So when Jacob heard that, he and all his family went to live in Egypt.” Acts 7:15b-16 “ Later on, Jacob died there, and our other ancestors, his sons, also died there.

¹⁶But the bodies of Jacob and Joseph were brought { they brought the bodies of Jacob and Joseph} back to our land, and Jacob's body was buried {they buried Jacob's body} in the tomb that Abraham had bought, and they buried Joseph's body in Shechem in the ground that Jacob had bought from Hamor's sons.”

¹⁷“Our ancestors had become very numerous when it was almost time for God to rescue them from Egypt, as he had promised Abraham that he would do.

¹⁸Another king had begun to rule in Egypt. He did not know that Joseph, long before that time, had greatly helped the people of Egypt MTY.

¹⁹That king cruelly tried to get rid of our ancestors. He oppressed them and caused them to suffer greatly. He even commanded them to leave their baby boys outside their homes so that they would die.”

²⁰“During that time Moses was born, and he was a very beautiful LIT child. So his parents secretly cared for him in their house for three months.

²¹Then they had to put him outside the house, but Pharaoh's daughter found him and adopted him and cared for him as though he were her own son.

²²Moses was taught { The Egyptian teachers taught Moses} many kinds of wise things HYP that the people in Egypt knew, and when he grew up, he spoke powerfully and did things powerfully.”

²³“ One day when Moses was about forty years old, he decided that he would go and see his fellow Israelis. So he went to the place where they worked.

²⁴He saw an Egyptian beating one of the Israels. So he went over to help MTY the Israeli man who was being hurt/beat {whom the Egyptian was hurting/beating}, and he ◄got revenge on/paid back► the Israeli man by killing the Egyptian who was hurting/beating him.
