| Genesis 15:13-16 | ||
| 15:13 | 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; | |
| 15:14 | And also that nation, whom they shall serve,
will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. |
|
| 15:15 | And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. | |
| 15:16 | But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. | |
