Acts 7:17 in Context — Acts 7
15 Así descendió Jacob á Egipto, donde murió él y nuestros padres;
16 Los cuales fueron trasladados á Sichêm, y puestos en el sepulcro que compró Abraham á precio de dinero de los hijos de Hemor de Sichêm.
17 Mas como se acercaba el tiempo de la promesa, la cual Dios había jurado á Abraham, el pueblo creció y multiplicóse en Egipto,
18 Hasta que se levantó otro rey en Egipto que no conocía á José.
19 Este, usando de astucia con nuestro linaje, maltrató á nuestros padres, á fin de que pusiesen á peligro [de muerte] sus niños, para que cesase la generación.
