Acts 7:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and ·his sons [^Lour fathers] died. ¹⁶ Later their bodies were moved to Shechem and put in a grave there. (It was the same grave Abraham had bought for a sum of ·money [^Lsilver] from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.) [^CStephen combines two accounts, Abraham’s purchase of a field in Hebron (Gen. 23:3–20) and Jacob’s purchase of a field in Shechem (Josh. 24:32).]

¹⁷ “The promise God made to Abraham [Gen. 15:12–16] was soon to come true, and the number of people in Egypt ·grew large [^Lincreased/flourished and multiplied].
