    I'm not going to look it up, but you seem to be thinking that the Old Testament is a complete and thorough compilation of all Judaic writings and tablets before Jesus. I assure you, it is not. Many of the Jewish writings have been lost. In fact, most writings from that time period have been lost.

    See: the cross-references (bottom of page)

    It's not just Genesis that Stephen was referring to

    but

    almost everything he said about Abraham is found in Genesis

    and so

    I wonder which ***particular*** statements you consider to be "not really in our version of Genesis".

    Consider the benefits of Jesus' teachings and clarifications on matters such as those.
