Acts 7:14-16. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this text?
I have seen it written that verse 16 should say Jacob instead of Abraham. What do you believe?

This is Stephen's sermon --
7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, 7:16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor [the father] of Sychem.
No, there is no mistake. The only question might be the name of the former owner of the field (Ephron the Hittite -- is here Emmor)
Joseph, governor in Egypt, asks His father, Jacob, and brothers to move to Egypt. They all move to Egypt and eventually all die there.
But they weren't buried in Egypt. Back in Abraham's day, when his wife Sarah died, Abraham bought a field in the land of Canaan (Machpelah) where He buried Sarah. Isaac and Rebekah were buried there, and later Jacob buried, Leah there.
That's where they all wanted to be buried when they died.
See Genesis 23:13-20 where Abraham buys the field when Sarah died. Genesis 25:9-10 Abraham was buried there
See Genesis 49:28 to 50:14 for the story of the burial of Jacob in Abraham's field.

Acts 7:14-16. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this text?
I have seen it written that verse 16 should say Jacob instead of Abraham. What do you believe? The numbers may be a minor issue. In Acts, as Dedication quoted, it says "threescore and fifteen." In Genesis, however, it says "threescore and ten." ". . . all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, [were] threescore and ten." (Gen. 46:27) Blessings, Green Cochoa.
We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

See Genesis 49:28 to 50:14 for the story of the burial of Jacob in Abraham's field. You're right dedication. Except that the field mentioned in verse 16 is the one bought by Jacob in Genesis 33:19. (Josh. 24:32; John 4:5) All the people are correct, and all but Joseph was buried in the cave in Machpelah. But, this verse mentions the wrong piece of property.

Excellent point, Green. I really wasn't thinking of this point though.
