MLV(i)
1 Now the high-priest said, Do these things then hold so?
2 Now he said, Brethren and fathers, listen : the God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, 3 and said to him, Come out of your land and from your relatives and come-here into the land whatever I will be showing you. 4 Then when he came out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran and after his father died, God exiled him from there into this land in which you are now dwelling. 5 And he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a step of his foot, and he promised to give it to him and to his seed after him for his territory, even when there was no child yet to him. 6 Now God spoke thus: That his seed will be a foreigner in an alien land, and they will enslave and will be mistreating them four hundred years. 7 And God said, I will be judging the nation to which they would be enslaved, and they will be coming forth and will be giving-divine service to me in this place after this thing. 8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision and so he fathered Isaac and he circumcised him on the eighth day, and to Isaac was born Jacob and to Jacob the twelve patriarchs. 9 And the patriarchs, having been jealous of Joseph, gave him into Egypt. And God was with him, 10 and liberated him from all his afflictions and gave him favor and wisdom in front of Pharaoh king of Egypt, who designated him leader over Egypt and his whole house. 11 Now there came a famine and great affliction upon the whole of Egypt and Canaan and our fathers were finding no sustenance. 12 But when Jacob heard of grain being in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time. 13 And by the second-time, Joseph was recognized by his brethren, and Joseph’s race became apparent to the Pharaoh.
