Acts 7:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 7:8

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.

11 ^aNow a famine and great trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance.
