| Genesis 15:16 | But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time. | Fourth, etc. after the 400 years are finished; during which period of time, God was pleased to bear with those wicked nations; whose iniquity chiefly consisted in idolatry, oppression of the poor and strangers, forbidden marriages of kindred, and abominable lusts. (Leviticus 18.; Deuteronomy 6. and xii.) (Menochius) |
