Acts 7:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ But God did not give Abraham any of this land, not even a foot of it. But God promised that in the future he would give Abraham this land for himself and for his children. This was before Abraham had any children.

⁶ “This is what God said to him: ‘Your descendants will live in another country. They will be strangers. The people there will make them slaves and mistreat them for 400 years. ⁷ But I will punish the nation that made them slaves.’^[a] And God also said, ‘After those things happen, your people will come out of that country. Then they will worship me here in this place.’^[b]
