16Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
17The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.
18He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
19And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
20All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
