Genesis 15:12-16
And
when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror
of great darkness fell upon him.
And
he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a
land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four
hundred years;
And
also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they
come out with great substance.
And
thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
But
in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the
Amorites is not yet full.
a. Genesis Record, Henry Morris, p.327. “God
said they would be in an alien land 400 years, a round number which was later
seen to be exactly 430 years…Genesis 15:13 can be interpreted: “Thy seed shall
be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and [all the
people among whom they dwell, both Canaanites and Egyptians] shall afflict them
four hundred years.”
