Acts 7:3-8

[3] And  said  unto  him,  Get thee  out of  country,  and  from  kindred,  and  come  into  the land  which  I shall shew  [4] Then  came he  out of  the land  of the Chaldaeans,  and dwelt  in  Charran:  and from thence,  when  his  father  was dead,  he removed  him  into  land,  wherein  now  dwell.  [5] And  he gave  him  none  inheritance  in  it,  no, not  his foot  on:  yet  he promised  that he would give  it  for  a possession,  and  to his  seed  after  him,  no  child.  [6] And  God  spake  on this wise,  That  his  seed  sojourn  in  a strange  land;  and  them  into bondage,  and  entreat them evil  four hundred  years.  [7] And  the nation  to whom  they shall be in bondage  judge,  said  God:  and  after  shall they come forth,  and  serve  in  place.  [8] And  he gave  him  the covenant  of circumcision:  and  so  Abraham begat  Isaac,  and  circumcised  him  the eighth  day;  and  Isaac  begat Jacob;  and  Jacob  begat the twelve  patriarchs.
