Acts 7:6-8
Lexham English Bible

6 But God spoke like this: ‘His descendants will be foreigners in a foreign land, and they will enslave them and mistreat them[a] four hundred years, 7 and the nation that[b] they will serve as slaves, I will judge,’ God said, ‘and after these things they will come out[c] and will worship me in this place.’[d] 8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac did so with[e] Jacob, and Jacob did so with[f] the twelve patriarchs.

Footnotes

  1. Acts 7:6 Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation
  2. Acts 7:7 Literally “to which”
  3. Acts 7:7 Verses 6–7 are a quotation from Gen 15:13–14
  4. Acts 7:7 The final phrase is an allusion to Exod 3:12
  5. Acts 7:8 Here the words “did so with” are not in the Greek text but are implied; in view of the “covenant of circumcision” mentioned earlier in the verse, it is probable that circumcision and not just fatherhood is involved
  6. Acts 7:8 Here the words “did so with” are not in the Greek text but are implied; see the note on the same phrase earlier in this verse
