Acts 7:14-24

14 "Then ¹Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, ²seventy-five * ³persons in all.

15 "And ⁴Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died.

16 "From there they were removed to ⁵Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

17 "But as the ⁶time of the promise was approaching which God had assured to Abraham, ⁷the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

18 until ⁸THERE AROSE ANOTHER KING OVER EGYPT WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT JOSEPH.

19 "It was he who took ⁹shrewd advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers so that they would ¹⁰expose * their infants and they would not survive.

20 "It was at this time that ¹¹Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father's home.

21 "And after he had been set outside, ¹²Pharaoh's daughter took him away and nurtured him as her own son.

22 "Moses was educated in all ¹³the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds.

23 "But when he was approaching the age of forty, ¹⁴it entered his mind to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.

24 "And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended him and took vengeance for the oppressed by striking down the Egyptian.
