THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Acts 7:3 in context
Acts 7:1–6
1

2

3
Selected verse
and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’†
4

5
He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.
6
God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
