2 So he affirmed, "Men... brothers and fathers, listen, and now hear! The God of the glory (or: The God of the manifestation which called forth praise; or: The God which pertains to, and is, the glory [of Israel]) was perceived (or: seen) by our father (or: forefather; patriarchal ancestor) Abraham – [he] being in Mesopotamia, before the [situation for] him to settle down (= take up residence) within Haran –
3 'and He said to him, "At once go forth from out of the midst of your land and your relationships with family (or: your relatives and the fellowship of kinfolks; your common origin), and then come on into the Land which I would then be pointing out and showing to you."' [Gen. 12:1]
4 "At that point, after going forth out of the land of [the] Chaldeans, he settled down and took up residence in Haran. Then from there – after the [occurrence for] his father to die off – He caused him to change residence into this Land in which you yourselves are at this time presently residing (continuing settled down).
5 "And yet He did not give to him an allotted permanent inheritance [for him] to possess and enjoy – 'not even a raised public platform or step for a foot (or: = a space, or a chance, for a foot to step)!' [Deut. 2:5] And yet He promised to 'give it to him – [leading] into a holding it down for a possession – and also to his seed (= offspring; descendants), after him,' [Gen. 12:7; etc.] while there was not presently being a child by and for him.
6 "But God also spoke thus [other MSS: to him]: that his 'seed (descendants) would be alien residents (sojourners) in a foreign land – and [the foreign people] will proceed to be enslaving them and will continue treating [them] badly [for] four hundred years.
