Acts 13:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel selected our forefathers and made this people great and important during their stay in the land of Egypt, and then with an uplifted arm He led them out from there.^(A)

¹⁸ And for about forty years ^[a]like a fatherly nurse He cared for them in the wilderness and endured their behavior.^(B)

¹⁹ When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave them [the Hebrews] their land as an inheritance [distributing it to them by lot; all of which took] about 450 years.^(C)
