Bible: Gen. 15:13,16,18; 17:8

15:13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain 1  that your descendants will be strangers 2  in a foreign country. 3  They will be enslaved and oppressed 4  for four hundred years. 15:16 In the fourth generation 5  your descendants 6  will return here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.” 7 

15:18 That day the Lord made a covenant 8  with Abram: “To your descendants I give 9  this land, from the river of Egypt 10  to the great river, the Euphrates River –
17:8 I will give the whole land of Canaan – the land where you are now residing 1  – to you and your descendants after you as a permanent 2  possession. I will be their God.”
