Acts 7

² And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

³ and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’

⁴ So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.

⁵ He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child.

⁶ God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
