Stephen's Defense

4 He went out of the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. After his father died, God moved him to this land, where you now dwell. 5 But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even when he had no child, He promised that He would give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him. 6 God spoke to this effect, that his seed would be alien residents in a strange land. They would enslave them, and mistreat them for four hundred years.
