Acts 7:17 in Context — Acts 7
15 Jacob descendit en Égypte, où il mourut, ainsi que nos pères;
16 et ils furent transportés à Sichem, et déposés dans le sépulcre qu’Abraham avait acheté, à prix d’argent, des fils d’Hémor, père de Sichem.
17 Le temps approchait où devait s’accomplir la promesse que Dieu avait faite à Abraham, et le peuple s’accrut et se multiplia en Égypte,
18 jusqu’à ce que parut un autre roi, qui n’avait pas connu Joseph.
19 Ce roi, usant d’artifice contre notre race, maltraita nos pères, au point de leur faire exposer leurs enfants, pour qu’ils ne vécussent pas.
