Acts 7:17

But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

"But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

`And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.
