And there was a famine H7458 in the land: H776 and Abram H87 went H3381 down H3381 into Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there; H8033 for the famine H7458 was grievous H3515 in the land. H776

And he said H559 to Abram, H87 Know H3045 of a surety H3045 that your seed H2233 shall be a stranger H1616 in a land H776 that is not their's, H1992 and shall serve H5647 them; and they shall afflict H6031 them four H702 hundred H3967 years; H8141

And you shall speak H6030 and say H559 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God, H430 A Syrian H761 ready to perish H6 was my father, H1 and he went H3381 down H3381 into Egypt, H4714 and sojourned H1481 there H8033 with a few, H4592 and became H1961 there H8033 a nation, H1471 great, H1419 mighty, H6099 and populous: H7227

Israel H3478 also came H935 into Egypt; H4714 and Jacob H3290 sojourned H1481 in the land H776 of Ham. H2526

For thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 My people H5971 went H3381 down H3381 aforetime H7223 into Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there; H8033 and the Assyrian H804 oppressed H6231 them without H657 cause. H657

And God G2316 spoke G2980 on this G3779 wise, That his seed G4690 should sojourn G1510 G3941 in a strange G245 land; G1093 and that they should bring G1402 them into bondage, G1402 and entreat G2559 them evil G2559 four G5071 hundred G5071 years. G2094

And the famine H7458 was sore H3515 in the land. H776

Now G1161 there came G2064 a dearth G3042 over G1909 all G3650 the land G1093 of Egypt G125 and Chanaan, G5477 and great G3173 affliction: G2347 and our fathers G3962 found G2147 no G3756 sustenance. G5527

That you shall say, H559 Your servants' H5650 trade H582 has been H1961 about cattle H4735 from our youth H5271 even until H5704 now, H6258 both H1571 we, and also H1571 our fathers: H1 that you may dwell H3427 in the land H776 of Goshen; H1657 for every H3605 shepherd H7462 H6629 is an abomination H8441 to the Egyptians.
