Acts 7:13-25
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
13And on the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph 's family became known to Pharaoh. 14And Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his kindred, seventy-five persons in all. 15And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, he and our fathers, 16and they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17"But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt
18until there arose over Egypt another king who did not know Joseph.
19He dealt shrewdly with our race and forced our fathers to expose their infants, so that they would not be kept alive.
20At this time Moses was born; and he was beautiful in God 's sight. And he was brought up for three months in his father 's house,
21and when he was exposed, Pharaoh 's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.
22And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
23"When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24And seeing one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian.
25He supposed that his brothers would understand that God was giving them salvation by his hand, but they did not understand.
