*
And Stephen said : "
Brethren and fathers ,
hear me .
The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham ,
when he was in Mesopota '
mia ,
before he lived in Haran ,
*
and said to him , `
Depart from your land and from your kindred and go into the land which I will show you .'
*
Then he departed from the land of the Chalde '
ans ,
and lived in Haran .
And after his father died ,
God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living ;
*
yet he gave him no inheritance in it ,
not even a foot '
s length ,
but promised to give it to him in possession and to his posterity after him ,
though he had no child .
*
And God spoke to this effect ,
that his posterity would be aliens in a land belonging to others ,
who would enslave them and ill-treat them four hundred years .
