The Acts
Chapters 7:17-23
Revised Version 1885
17But as the time of the promise drew nigh, which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18till there arose another king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
19The same dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.
20At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father's house:
21and when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
22And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.
23But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
