* Then said (5627 ) the high priest , Are (5719 ) these things so ? * And he said (5713 ), Men , brethren , and fathers , hearken (5657 ); The God of glory appeared (5681 ) unto our father Abraham , when he was (5752 ) in Mesopotamia , before he dwelt (5658 ) in Charran , * And said (5627 ) unto him , Get thee (5628 ) out of thy country , and from thy kindred , and come (5773 ) into the land which I shall shew (5692 ) thee . * Then came he (5631 ) out of the land of the Chaldaeans , and dwelt (5656 ) in Charran : and from thence , when his father was dead (5629 ), he removed (5656 ) him into this land , wherein ye now dwell (5719 ). * And he gave (5656 ) him none inheritance in it , no , not so much as to set his foot on : yet he promised (5662 ) that he would give (5629 ) it to him for a possession , and to his seed after him , when as yet he had (5752 ) no child . * And God spake (5656 ) on this wise , That his seed should (5704 ) sojourn in a strange land ; and that they should bring them into bondage (5692 ), and entreat them evil (5692 ) four hundred years . * And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage (5661 ) will I judge (5692 ), said (5627 ) God : and after that shall they come forth (5695 ), and serve (5692 ) me in this place . * And he gave (5656 ) him the covenant of circumcision : and so Abraham begat (5656 ) Isaac , and circumcised (5627 ) him the eighth day ; and Isaac begat Jacob ; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs . * And the patriarchs , moved with envy (5660 ), sold (5639 ) Joseph into Egypt : but God was (5713 ) with him , * And delivered (5639 ) him out of all his afflictions , and gave (5656 ) him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt ; and he made (5656 ) him governor (5740 ) over Egypt and all his house . * Now there came (5627 ) a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan , and great affliction : and our fathers found (5707 ) no sustenance . * But when Jacob heard (5660 ) that there was (5752 ) corn in Egypt , he sent out (5656 ) our fathers first . * And at the second time Joseph was made known (5681 ) to his brethren ; and Josephs kindred was made (5633 ) known unto Pharaoh .
