44:007:003 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
           kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

44:007:004 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in
           Charran:  and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed
           him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

44:007:005 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to
           set his foot on:  yet he promised that he would give it to him
           for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he
           had no child.

44:007:006 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a
           strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage,
           and entreat them evil four hundred years.

44:007:007 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge,
           said God:  and after that shall they come forth, and serve me
           in this place.

44:007:008 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision:  and so Abraham
           begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac
           begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

44:007:009 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: 
           but God was with him,

44:007:010 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him
           favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and
           he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

44:007:011 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and
           Chanaan, and great affliction:  and our fathers found no
           sustenance.

44:007:012 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out
           our fathers first.

44:007:013 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren;
           and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

44:007:014 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all
           his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

44:007:015 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

44:007:016 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre
           that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor
           the father of Sychem.

44:007:017 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had
           sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

44:007:018 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

44:007:019 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated
           our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to
           the end they might not live.

44:007:020 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and
           nourished up in his father’s house three months:
