10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of n Gen. 39. 2, Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11 P Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

12 But when Jacob heard 8 that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out ẞ our fathers first.

13 And at the second time Joseph was
made known to his brethren; and Joseph's
kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
14 Then sent Joseph, and called his
father Jacob to him, and all his kindred,
threescore and fifteen souls.

15 So Jacob went down 8 into Egypt 8,
and died, he, and our fathers,
16 And were carried over into Sychem,
and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham
bought for a sum of money of the sons
of Emmor B the father of Sychem B.

17 But when the time of the promise
drew nigh, which God B had sworn 8 to
Abraham, the people grew and multi-
plied in Egypt,

18 Till another king arose ß, which knew not Joseph.

19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so bExod. 1. 22. that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.

20 In which time Moses was born, and d was 5 exceeding fair 5, and nourished up in his father's house three months: 21 And when he was cast out, PhaIraoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 23 And when he was full forty years 9 Exod. 2. 11, old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: 25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand 7 would deliver them: but they understood not.

11 And 2 saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending Bunto him ß, as it had been a great sheet y knit at the four 3 corners 3, and let down y to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted B beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things B, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common 8 or ẞ unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate 5,

18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

19 While Peter thought on the vision, k the Spirit said unto him, Behold, B three 8 men seek thee.

20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek what is the cause wherefore ye are come ?

22 And they said, " Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and "of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. 23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow 8 Peter went ß away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

24 And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius 6 waited 6 for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

25 B And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

25 And he said unto them, Ye know how 7 that it is an unlawful thing 7 for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: B who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee B. 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come.
