Deeds (Act) of Apostles 7:16-29

¹⁶and they were translated into Sychem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought by price of silver of the sons of Emmor, the son of Sychem. (and they were taken to Shechem, and were laid in the tomb, that Abraham bought with silver from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.)

¹⁷And when the time of (the) promise came nigh, which God had acknowledged to Abraham, the people waxed (or grew), and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸till another king (a)rose in Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

¹⁹This (man) beguiled our kin, and tormented our fathers, that they should put away or they should put out their young children, for they should not live.

²⁰In the same time Moses was born, and he was loved of God or he was accepted of God, (or At that time Moses was born, and he was loved by God); and he was nourished (or was nursed) three months in the house of his father.

²¹And when he was put out in the river, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and nourished him into her son (or and raised him as her own son).

²²And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of (the) Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and works.

²³But when the time of forty years was full-filled to him, it rose up into his heart, that he should visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.

²⁴And when he saw a man suffering wrong, he (a)venged him, and did vengeance for him that suffered the wrong, and killed the Egyptian.

²⁵For he guessed that his brethren should understand, that God should give to them health (or deliverance) by the hand of him; but they understood not.

²⁶For in the day (pur)suing he appeared to them (who were) chiding (or For on the following day he appeared to two men who were fighting), and he accorded them or he reconciled them in peace, and said, Men, ye be brethren; why annoy (or harm) ye each other?

²⁷But he that did the wrong to his neighbour, putted him away, and said, Who ordained thee prince and doomsman on us? (But he who did the wrong to his neighbour, pushed him away, and said, Who made thee lord and judge over us?)

²⁸Whether thou wilt slay me, as yesterday thou killedest the Egyptian?

²⁹And in this word Moses flew, and was made a comeling in the land of Madian (or and was made a newcomer in the land of Midian), where he begat two sons.
