And I will give unto you, and to your descendants after you, the land in which you are a sojourner, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Now these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.

And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray you, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and you make them rest from their burdens.

You shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as before: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor in it; and let them not give regard to vain words.

Go, get you straw where you can find it: yet not any of your work shall be diminished.

And the taskmasters pushed them, saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.

Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Why dealt you thus with your servants?

But he said, you are idle, you are idle: therefore you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.

And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in an evil plight, after it was said, you shall not reduce any from your bricks of your daily task.

And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because you have made our favor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.

You shall neither wrong a stranger, nor oppress him: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

But the stranger that dwells with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Love you therefore the stranger: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.

And God spoke in this way, That his descendants should live in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and ill-treat them for four hundred years.

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.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should later receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he went.

For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the seashore innumerable.

Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the very same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of no effect.
