Acts Chapter 7
So the high priest was like, "Is this for real, fam?"
Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
He replied, "Yo, fam, pay attention; the God of glory showed up to our guy Abraham while he was just chilling in Mesopotamia, before he cruised to Charran."
And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
God literally said, "Bounce from your country and your fam, and I’ll show you a dope land."
And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
So he left the land of the Chaldeans and set up in Charran; after his pops passed, he moved to this land where you guys are chilling now.
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
God didn’t hook him up with any land to claim, not even a spot to put his foot, but he promised it to him and his future fam, even though he was kidless at that point.
And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not {so much as} to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when {as yet} he had no child.
God mentioned that his fam would be in a sketchy land for a while, and they'd be treated poorly for four hundred years.
And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat {them} evil four hundred years.
And God was like, "I’ll judge the nation putting them in bondage, and afterward, they’ll dip out and serve me here."
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.

He pulled him out of all his struggles and gave him mad favor and wisdom in Pharaoh's sight; Pharaoh made him governor over Egypt and his whole squad.

So there was a major food shortage in Egypt and Chanaan, and our fam was struggling, no cap.
Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
But when Jacob caught wind that there was corn in Egypt, he was like, "Bet, let’s send our fam first."
But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
Then the second time, Joseph revealed himself to his bros; Pharaoh got to know Joseph's crew.
And at the second {time} Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
Joseph contacted his dad Jacob and all his fam, bringing 75 souls to hang out with him.
Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to {him}, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

Then a new king showed up who didn’t know Joseph, and that was sus.
Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
This king was savage to our fam, treating them badly and even making them toss out their kids so they wouldn’t survive.
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
During this time, Moses was born, and he was hella cute, raised in his dad's house for three months.
In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: {exceeding fair: or, fair to God}
So, when he got kicked out, Pharaoh's daughter scooped him up and raised him like her own kid. Total vibe.
And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Moses was straight-up schooled in all the Egyptian wisdom and had mad skills in speech and action. Goated.

Fast forward, at 40, he felt it in his heart to check on his peeps, the Israelites.
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
He peeped one of them getting messed up, so he jumped in, defended him, and took out the Egyptian. Savage!
And seeing one {of them} suffer wrong, he defended {him}, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

But the dude who was causing drama shoved him away, saying, "Who made you the boss over us?"
But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
"You gonna off me like you did the Egyptian yesterday?"
Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
So, Moses dipped after that and ended up in Midian, where he had two sons.
Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
After 40 years, he saw an angel of the Lord in the wilderness on Mount Sinai, all fiery in a bush. Lit!
And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
When Moses checked it out, he was shook by the sight: and as he got closer, the voice of the Lord hit him,
When Moses saw {it}, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold {it}, the voice of the Lord came unto him,
Saying, I’m the God of your fam, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses was trembling, no cap, couldn’t even look.
{Saying}, I {am} the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
I’ve seen, I’ve seen the struggle of my peeps in Egypt, and I heard their cries, so I’m here to save them. Now come, I’m sending you to Egypt.
I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
This Moses they were dissing, asking, Who made you boss? God sent him to be a leader and a savior through the angel that appeared in the bush.
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send {to be} a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
He pulled them out after flexing wonders and signs in Egypt, the Red Sea, and in the desert for forty years.
He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
This is that Moses, who told the Israelites, A prophet will pop up that the Lord your God raises from your fam, you gotta listen to him.

This is he, chilling in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors: who got the fresh word to drop on us:
This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and {with} our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
Our ancestors weren’t vibing with him, but pushed him away, and in their hearts, they were like, let’s hit back to Egypt.
To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust {him} from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Saying to Aaron, Make us some gods to lead us: because this Moses who got us outta Egypt? We don’t even know what happened to him.

They straight up made a calf back then, sacrificed to the idol, and were vibing off their own creations.
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Then God was like, "Bet," and let them worship the heavenly squad; as the prophets said, "Yo, Israel, did you really offer me sacrifices for forty years in the desert?"
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices {by the space of} forty years in the wilderness?

Didn’t my hand make all this stuff?
Hath not my hand made all these things?
Y'all are so stubborn and uncircumcised in heart and ears, always resisting the Holy Ghost like your fam did, no cap.
