Acts 7:6-8
King James Version
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.

English Standard Version
6 And God spoke to this effect—that (A)his offspring would (B)be sojourners in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and afflict them (C)four hundred years. 7 ‘But (D)I will judge the nation that they serve,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out (E)and worship me in this place.’ 8 And (F)he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And (G)so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and (H)circumcised him on the eighth day, and (I)Isaac became the father of Jacob, and (J)Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
