Acts 7:3-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. and said to him, ‘Go forth from your land and [from] your kinsfolk to the land that I will show you.’

4. So he went forth from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, he made him migrate to this land where you now dwell.

5. Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot’s length, but he did promise to give it to him and his descendants as a possession, even though he was childless.

6. And God spoke thus, ‘His descendants shall be aliens in a land not their own, where they shall be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years;

7. but I will bring judgment on the nation they serve,’ God said, ‘and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.’
