Acts 7:17-38

¹⁷When the tyme of the promes drue nye (which God had sworme to Abraham) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte

¹⁸till another kynge arose which knewe not of Ioseph.

¹⁹The same dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve.

²⁰The same tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in the sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes.

²¹When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne.

²²And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes.

²³And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.

²⁴And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarrell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.

²⁵For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how that God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not.

²⁶And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto them as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another?

²⁷But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made the a rular and a iudge amonge vs?

²⁸What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?

²⁹Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes.

³⁰And when .xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.

³¹When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:

³²I am the God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.

³³Then sayde the Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.

³⁴I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.

³⁵This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by the hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.

³⁶And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes .xl. yeares.

³⁷This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare.

³⁸This is he that was in the congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in the moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs
