¹ G1161 Then G2036 said [G5627]   G749 the high priest G1487 , Are G686   G2192   [G5719]   G5023 these things G3779 so?

² G1161 And G5346 he said [G5713]   G435 , Men G80 , brethren G2532 , and G3962 fathers G191 , hearken [G5657]   G2316 ; The God G1391 of glory G3700 appeared [G5681]   G2257 unto our G3962 father G11 Abraham G5607 , when he was [G5752]   G1722 in G3318 Mesopotamia G4250 , before G2228   G846 he G2730 dwelt [G5658]   G1722 in G5488 Charran,

³ G2532 And G2036 said [G5627]   G4314 unto G846 him G1831 , Get thee [G5628]   G1537 out of G4675 thy G1093 country G2532 , and G1537 from G4675 thy G4772 kindred G2532 , and G1204 come [G5773]   G1519 into G1093 the land G3739 which G302   G1166 I shall shew [G5692]   G4671 thee.

⁴ G5119 Then G1831 came he [G5631]   G1537 out of G1093 the land G5466 of the Chaldaeans G2730 , and dwelt [G5656]   G1722 in G5488 Charran G2547 : and from thence G3326 , when G846 his G3962 father G599 was dead [G5629]   G3351 , he removed [G5656]   G846 him G1519 into G5026 this G1093 land G1519 , wherein G3739   G5210 ye G3568 now G2730 dwell [G5719]  .

⁵ G2532 And G1325 he gave [G5656]   G846 him G3756 none G2817 inheritance G1722 in G846 it G3761 , no, not G968 so much as to set G4228 his foot G968 on G2532 : yet G1861 he promised [G5662]   G1325 that he would give [G5629]   G846 it G846 to him G1519 for G2697 a possession G2532 , and G846 to his G4690 seed G3326 after G846 him G846 , when as yet he G5607 had [G5752]   G3756 no G5043 child.

⁶ G1161 And G2316 God G2980 spake [G5656]   G3779 on this wise G3754 , That G846 his G4690 seed G2071 should [G5704]   G3941 sojourn G1722 in G245 a strange G1093 land G2532 ; and G1402 that they should bring G846 them G1402 into bondage [G5692]   G2532 , and G2559 entreat them evil [G5692]   G5071 four hundred G2094 years.

⁷ G2532 And G1484 the nation G3739 to whom G1437   G1398 they shall be in bondage [G5661]   G2919 will G1473 I G2919 judge [G5692]   G2036 , said [G5627]   G2316 God G2532 : and G3326 after G5023 that G1831 shall they come forth [G5695]   G2532 , and G3000 serve [G5692]   G3427 me G1722 in G5129 this G5117 place.

⁸ G2532 And G1325 he gave [G5656]   G846 him G1242 the covenant G4061 of circumcision G2532 : and G3779 so G1080 Abraham begat [G5656]   G2464 Isaac G2532 , and G4059 circumcised [G5627]   G846 him G3590 the eighth G2250 day G2532 ; and G2464 Isaac G2384 begat Jacob G2532 ; and G2384 Jacob G1427 begat the twelve G3966 patriarchs.

⁹ G2532 And G3966 the patriarchs G2206 , moved with envy [G5660]   G591 , sold [G5639]   G2501 Joseph G1519 into G125 Egypt G2532 : but G2316 God G2258 was [G5713]   G3326 with G846 him,

¹⁰ G2532 And G1807 delivered [G5639]   G846 him G1537 out of G3956 all G846 his G2347 afflictions G2532 , and G1325 gave [G5656]   G846 him G5485 favour G2532 and G4678 wisdom G1726 in the sight G5328 of Pharaoh G935 king G125 of Egypt G2532 ; and G2525 he made [G5656]   G846 him G2233 governor [G5740]   G1909 over G125 Egypt G2532 and G3650 all G846 his G3624 house.

¹¹ G1161 Now G2064 there came [G5627]   G3042 a dearth G1909 over G3650 all G1093 the land G125 of Egypt G2532 and G5477 Chanaan G2532 , and G3173 great G2347 affliction G2532 : and G2257 our G3962 fathers G2147 found [G5707]   G3756 no G5527 sustenance.

¹² G1161 But G2384 when Jacob G191 heard [G5660]   G5607 that there was [G5752]   G4621 corn G1722 in G125 Egypt G1821 , he sent out [G5656]   G2257 our G3962 fathers G4412 first.

¹³ G2532 And G1722 at G1208 the second G2501 time Joseph G319 was made known [G5681]   G846 to his G80 brethren G2532 ; and G2501 Joseph's G1085 kindred G1096 was made [G5633]   G5318 known G5328 unto Pharaoh.

¹⁴ G1161 Then G649 sent [G5660]   G2501 Joseph G3333 , and called [G5668]   G846 his G3962 father G2384 Jacob G2532 to him, and G3956 all G846 his G4772 kindred G1722 , G1440 threescore G4002 and fifteen G5590 souls.

¹⁵ G1161 So G2384 Jacob G2597 went down [G5627]   G1519 into G125 Egypt G2532 , and G5053 died [G5656]   G846 , he G2532 , and G2257 our G3962 fathers,

¹⁶ G2532 And G3346 were carried over [G5681]   G1519 into G4966 Sychem G2532 , and G5087 laid [G5681]   G1722 in G3418 the sepulchre G3739 that G11 Abraham G5608 bought [G5662]   G5092 for a sum G694 of money G3844 of G5207 the sons G1697 of Emmor G3588 the father G4966 of Sychem.

¹⁷ G1161 But G2531 when G5550 the time G1860 of the promise G1448 drew nigh [G5707]   G3739 , which G2316 God G3660 had sworn [G5656]   G11 to Abraham G2992 , the people G837 grew [G5656]   G2532 and G4129 multiplied [G5681]   G1722 in G125 Egypt,

¹⁸ G891 Till G3739   G2087 another G935 king G450 arose [G5627]   G3739 , which G1492 knew [G5715]   G3756 not G2501 Joseph.

¹⁹ G3778 The same G2686 dealt subtilly [G5666]   G2257 with our G1085 kindred G2559 , and evil entreated [G5656]   G2257 our G3962 fathers G4160 , so that [G5721]   G1570 they cast out G846 their G1025 young children G1519 , to the end G2225 they might G3361 not G2225 live [G5745]  .

²⁰ G1722 In G3739 which G2540 time G3475 Moses G1080 was born [G5681]   G2532 , and G2258 was [G5713]   G2316 exceeding G791 fair G3739 , and G397 nourished up [G5648]   G1722 in G846 his G3962 father's G3624 house G5140 three G3376 months:

²¹ G1161 And G846 when he G1620 was cast out [G5685]   G5328 , Pharaoh's G2364 daughter G337 took G846 him G337 up [G5639]   G2532 , and G397 nourished [G5668]   G846 him G1519 for G1438 her own G5207 son.

²² G2532 And G3475 Moses G3811 was learned [G5681]   G3956 in all G4678 the wisdom G124 of the Egyptians G1161 , and G2258 was [G5713]   G1415 mighty G1722 in G3056 words G2532 and G1722 in G2041 deeds.

²³ G1161 And G5613 when G846 he G4137 was full [G5712]   G5063 forty years G5550 old G305 , it came [G5627]   G1909 into G846 his G2588 heart G1980 to visit [G5664]   G846 his G80 brethren G5207 the children G2474 of Israel.

²⁴ G2532 And G1492 seeing [G5631]   G5100 one G91 of them suffer wrong [G5746]   G292 , he defended [G5662]   G2532 him, and G1557 avenged G4160   [G5656]   G2669 him that was oppressed [G5746]   G3960 , and smote [G5660]   G124 the Egyptian:

²⁵ G1161 For G3543 he supposed [G5707]   G846 his G80 brethren G4920 would have understood [G5721]   G3754 how G2316 that God G1223 by G846 his G5495 hand G1325 would deliver [G5719]   G4991   G846 them G1161 : but G4920 they understood [G5656]   G3756 not.

²⁶ G5037 And G1966 the next [G5752]   G2250 day G3700 he shewed himself [G5681]   G846 unto them G3164 as they strove [G5736]   G2532 , and G4900 would have set [G5656]   G846 them G1519 at G1515 one again G2036 , saying [G5631]   G435 , Sirs G5210 , ye G2075 are [G5748]   G80 brethren G2444 ; why G91 do ye wrong [G5719]   G240 one to another?

²⁷ G1161 But G91 he that did G4139 his neighbour G91 wrong [G5723]   G683 thrust G846 him G683 away [G5662]   G2036 , saying [G5631]   G5101 , Who G2525 made [G5656]   G4571 thee G758 a ruler G2532 and G1348 a judge G1909 over G2248 us?

²⁸ G3361 Wilt G2309   [G5719]   G4771 thou G337 kill [G5629]   G3165 me G3739 , as G5158   G337 thou diddest [G5627]   G124 the Egyptian G5504 yesterday?

²⁹ G1161 Then G5343 fled [G5627]   G3475 Moses G1722 at G5129 this G3056 saying G2532 , and G1096 was [G5633]   G3941 a stranger G1722 in G1093 the land G3099 of Madian G3757 , where G1080 he begat [G5656]   G1417 two G5207 sons.

³⁰ G2532 And G5062 when forty G2094 years G4137 were expired [G5685]   G3700 , there appeared [G5681]   G846 to him G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G3735 of mount G4614 Sina G32 an angel G2962 of the Lord G1722 in G5395 a flame G4442 of fire G942 in a bush.

³¹ G1161 When G3475 Moses G1492 saw [G5631]   G2296 it, he wondered [G5656]   G3705 at the sight G1161 : and G846 as he G4334 drew near [G5740]   G2657 to behold [G5658]   G5456 it, the voice G2962 of the Lord G1096 came [G5633]   G4314 unto G846 him,

³² G1473 Saying, I G2316 am the God G4675 of thy G3962 fathers G2316 , the God G11 of Abraham G2532 , and G2316 the God G2464 of Isaac G2532 , and G2316 the God G2384 of Jacob G1161 . Then G3475 Moses G1096 trembled [G5637]   G1790   G5111 , and durst [G5707]   G3756 not G2657 behold [G5658]  .

³³ G1161 Then G2036 said [G5627]   G2962 the Lord G846 to him G3089 , Put off [G5657]   G5266 thy shoes G4675 from thy G4228 feet G1063 : for G5117 the place G1722 where G3739   G2476 thou standest [G5758]   G2076 is [G5748]   G40 holy G1093 ground.

³⁴ G1492 I have seen [G5631]   G1492 , I have seen [G5627]   G2561 the affliction G3450 of my G2992 people G3588 which G1722 is in G125 Egypt G2532 , and G191 I have heard [G5656]   G846 their G4726 groaning G2532 , and G2597 am come down [G5627]   G1807 to deliver [G5641]   G846 them G2532 . And G3568 now G1204 come [G5773]   G649 , I will send [G5692]   G4571 thee G1519 into G125 Egypt.

³⁵ G5126 This G3475 Moses G3739 whom G720 they refused [G5662]   G2036 , saying [G5631]   G5101 , Who G2525 made [G5656]   G4571 thee G758 a ruler G2532 and G1348 a judge G5126 ? the same G2316 did God G649 send [G5656]   G758 to be a ruler G2532 and G3086 a deliverer G1722 by G5495 the hand G32 of the angel G3588 which G3700 appeared [G5685]   G846 to him G1722 in G942 the bush.

³⁶ G3778 He G1806 brought G846 them G1806 out [G5627]   G4160 , after that he had shewed [G5660]   G5059 wonders G2532 and G4592 signs G1722 in G1093 the land G125 of Egypt G2532 , and G1722 in G2063 the Red G2281 sea G2532 , and G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G5062 forty G2094 years.

³⁷ G3778 This G2076 is [G5748]   G3475 that Moses G3588 , which G2036 said [G5631]   G5207 unto the children G2474 of Israel G4396 , A prophet G450 shall G2962 the Lord G5216 your G2316 God G450 raise up [G5692]   G5213 unto you G1537 of G5216 your G80 brethren G5613 , like G1691 unto me G846 ; him G191 shall ye hear [G5695]  .

³⁸ G3778 This G2076 is he [G5748]   G1096 , that was [G5637]   G1722 in G1577 the church G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G3326 with G32 the angel G3588 which G2980 spake [G5723]   G846 to him G1722 in G3735 the mount G4614 Sina G2532 , and G2257 with our G3962 fathers G3739 : who G1209 received [G5662]   G2198 the lively [G5723]   G3051 oracles G1325 to give [G5629]   G2254 unto us:

³⁹ G3739 To whom G2257 our G3962 fathers G2309 would [G5656]   G3756 not G1096 obey [G5635]   G5255   G235 , but G683 thrust him from them [G5662]   G2532 , and G846 in their G2588 hearts G4762 turned back again [G5648]   G1519 into G125 Egypt,

⁴⁰ G2036 Saying [G5631]   G2 unto Aaron G4160 , Make [G5657]   G2254 us G2316 gods G3739 to G4313 go before [G5695]   G2257 us G1063 : for G3778 as for this G3475 Moses G3739 , which G1806 brought [G5627]   G2248 us G1537 out of G1093 the land G125 of Egypt G1492 , we wot [G5758]   G3756 not G5101 what G1096 is become [G5754]   G846 of him.

⁴¹ G2532 And G3447 they made a calf [G5656]   G1722 in G1565 those G2250 days G2532 , and G321 offered [G5627]   G2378 sacrifice G1497 unto the idol G2532 , and G2165 rejoiced [G5712]   G1722 in G2041 the works G846 of their own G5495 hands.

⁴² G1161 Then G2316 God G4762 turned [G5656]   G2532 , and G3860 gave G846 them G3860 up [G5656]   G3000 to worship [G5721]   G4756 the host G3772 of heaven G2531 ; as it G1125 is written [G5769]   G1722 in G976 the book G4396 of the prophets G3624 , O ye house G2474 of Israel G3361 , have ye offered G4374   [G5656]   G3427 to me G4968 slain beasts G2532 and G2378 sacrifices G5062 by the space of forty G2094 years G1722 in G2048 the wilderness?

⁴³ G2532 Yea G353 , ye took up [G5627]   G4633 the tabernacle G3434 of Moloch G2532 , and G798 the star G5216 of your G2316 god G4481 Remphan G5179 , figures G3739 which G4160 ye made [G5656]   G4352 to worship [G5721]   G846 them G2532 : and G3351 I will carry G5209 you G3351 away [G5692]   G1900 beyond G897 Babylon.

⁴⁴ G2257 Our G3962 fathers G2258 had [G5713]   G4633 the tabernacle G3142 of witness G1722   G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G2531 , as G1299 he had appointed [G5668]   G2980 , speaking [G5723]   G3475 unto Moses G4160 , that he should make [G5658]   G846 it G2596 according G5179 to the fashion G3739 that G3708 he had seen [G5715]  .

⁴⁵ G3739 Which G2532 also G2257 our G3962 fathers G1237 that came [G5666]   G1521 after brought in [G5627]   G3326 with G2424 Jesus G1722 into G2697 the possession G1484 of the Gentiles G3739 , whom G2316 God G1856 drave out [G5656]   G575 before G4383 the face G2257 of our G3962 fathers G2193 , unto G2250 the days G1138 of David;

⁴⁶ G3739 Who G2147 found [G5627]   G5485 favour G1799 before G2316 God G2532 , and G154 desired [G5668]   G2147 to find [G5629]   G4638 a tabernacle G2316 for the God G2384 of Jacob.

⁴⁷ G1161 But G4672 Solomon G3618 built [G5656]   G846 him G3624 an house.

⁴⁸ G235 Howbeit G5310 the most High G2730 dwelleth [G5719]   G3756 not G1722 in G3485 temples G5499 made with hands G2531 ; as G3004 saith [G5719]   G4396 the prophet,

⁴⁹ G3772 Heaven G3427 is my G2362 throne G1161 , and G1093 earth G3450 is my G4228 footstool G5286   G4169 : what G3624 house G3618 will ye build [G5692]   G3427 me G3004 ? saith [G5719]   G2962 the Lord G2228 : or G5101 what G5117 is the place G3450 of my G2663 rest?

⁵⁰ G4160 Hath G3780 not G3450 my G5495 hand G4160 made [G5656]   G3956 all G5023 these things?

⁵¹ G4644 Ye stiffnecked G2532 and G564 uncircumcised G2588 in heart G2532 and G3775 ears G5210 , ye G496 do G104 always G496 resist [G5719]   G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost G5613 : as G5216 your G3962 fathers G2532 did, so G5210 do ye.

⁵² G5101 Which G4396 of the prophets G1377 have G3756 not G5216 your G3962 fathers G1377 persecuted [G5656]   G2532 ? and G615 they have slain [G5656]   G3588 them which G4293 shewed before [G5660]   G4012 of G1660 the coming G1342 of the Just One G3739 ; of whom G5210 ye G1096 have been [G5769]   G3568 now G4273 the betrayers G2532 and G5406 murderers:

⁵³ G3748 Who G2983 have received [G5627]   G3551 the law G1519 by G1296 the disposition G32 of angels G2532 , and G5442 have G3756 not G5442 kept [G5656]   it .

⁵⁴ G1161 When G191 they heard [G5723]   G5023 these things G1282 , they were cut [G5712]   G2588 to the heart G846   G2532 , and G1031 they gnashed [G5707]   G1909 on G846 him G3599 with their teeth.

⁵⁵ G1161 But G5225 he, being [G5723]   G4134 full G40 of the Holy G4151 Ghost G816 , looked up stedfastly [G5660]   G1519 into G3772 heaven G1492 , and saw [G5627]   G1391 the glory G2316 of God G2532 , and G2424 Jesus G2476 standing [G5761]   G1537 on G1188 the right hand G2316 of God,

⁵⁶ G2532 And G2036 said [G5627]   G2400 , Behold [G5628]   G2334 , I see [G5719]   G3772 the heavens G455 opened [G5772]   G2532 , and G5207 the Son G444 of man G2476 standing [G5761]   G1537 on G1188 the right hand G2316 of God.
