Acts 7:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 7:5

3 and said to him, ^a‘Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.’

4 Then ^ahe came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was ^bdead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell.

5 And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, ^aHe promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him.

6 But God spoke in this way: ^athat his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into ^bbondage and oppress them four hundred years.

7 ^a‘And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will ^bjudge,’ said God, ^c‘and after that they shall come out and serve Me in this place.’

8 ^aThen He gave him the covenant of circumcision; ^band so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; ^cand Isaac begot Jacob, and ^dJacob begot the twelve patriarchs.

The Patriarchs in Egypt

9 ^a“And the patriarchs, becoming envious, ^bsold Joseph into Egypt. ^cBut God was with him

10 and delivered him out of all his troubles, ^aand gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
