## Acts 7:9-10 in Context (Verses 6–13 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/acts/7/6) And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat *them* evil four hundred years.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/acts/7/7) And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/acts/7/8) 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.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/acts/7/9) And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
 
 [10 ](/kjv/acts/7/10) And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/acts/7/11) Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/acts/7/12) But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/acts/7/13) And at the second *time* Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
