Exegesis
The aorist participle exelthōn {ἐξελθών | ex-el-thṓn} functions circumstantially, giving prior action (“after going out”) that precedes the main finite verb katōikēsen {κατῴκησεν | ka-tṓi-ke-sen} “he dwelled.”
In context — Acts 7:4
Then, after he went out from the land of the Chaldeans , he settled in Haran. And from there, after the death of his father, He relocated him into this land in which you now dwell.
