Acts 7:6 in Context — Acts 7
4 Então ele saiu da terra dos caldeus, [e] habitou em Harã. E dali, depois que morreu seu pai, ele partiu para esta terra, em que agora vós habitais.
5 E [Deus] não lhe deu herança nela, nem mesmo a pegada de um pé; mas prometeu que a daria a ele em propriedade, e a sua semente depois dele, não tendo ele filho [ainda] .
6 E Deus falou assim: Tua semente será peregrina em terra alheia, e a escravizarão, e a maltratarão [por] quatrocentos anos.
7 E à nação a quem eles servirem, eu a julgarei, (disse Deus). E depois disso eles sairão, e me servirão neste lugar.
8 E ele lhe deu o pacto da circuncisão; e assim gerou a Isaque, e o circuncidou ao oitavo dia; e Isaque [gerou] a Jacó, e Jacó aos doze patriarcas.
