Acts 7:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ But ^(A)God spoke to this effect, that his descendants would be aliens in a foreign land, and that they would ^[a]be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years. ⁷ ‘And whatever nation to which they will be in bondage I Myself will judge,’ said God, ‘and ^(B)after that they will come out and ^[b]serve Me in this place.’ ⁸ And He ^(C)gave him ^[c]the covenant of circumcision; and so ^(D)Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and ^(E)Isaac became the father of Jacob, and ^(F)Jacob of the twelve ^(G)patriarchs.
