Genesis 15:13-21
New King James Version
13 Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly (A)that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and (B)they will afflict them four hundred years. 14 And also the nation whom they serve (C)I will judge; afterward (D)they shall come out with great possessions. 15 Now as for you, (E)you shall [a]go (F)to your fathers in peace; (G)you shall be buried at a good old age. 16 But (H)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity (I)of the Amorites (J)is not yet complete.”
17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that (K)passed between those pieces. 18 On the same day the Lord (L)made a covenant with Abram, saying:
(M)“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— 19 the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years(A) your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved(B) and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out(C) with great possessions.(D) 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors(E) in peace and be buried at a good old age.(F) 16 In the fourth generation(G) your descendants will come back here,(H) for the sin of the Amorites(I) has not yet reached its full measure.”
