Acts 7:15-22 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

15. So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

16. And were carried over into Shechem, and laid in the sepulcher that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem.

17. But when the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

18. Till another king arose, who knew not Joseph.

19. The same dealt craftily with our kindred, and ill-treated our fathers, so that they exposed their infants, to the end that they might not live.

20. In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair, and was nourished in his father's house three months:

21. And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.

22. And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
