GOD said to Abram, “Know this: your descendants will live as outsiders in a land not theirs; they’ll be enslaved and beaten down for 400 years. Then I’ll punish their slave masters; your offspring will march out of there loaded with plunder. But not you; you’ll have a long and full life and die a good and peaceful death. Not until the fourth generation will your descendants return here; sin is still a thriving business among the Amorites.”

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”

After your great-great-grandchildren are born, your people will come to this land again. It will take that long, because I am not yet going to punish the Amorites for their evil behavior.”

And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.

In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”

But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

Then in the fourth generation your descendants shall return here [to Canaan, the land of promise], for the wickedness and guilt of the Amorites is not yet complete (finished).” [Josh 24:15]

After four generations your descendants will return here to this land, for the sins of the Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction.”

And after the fourth generation, your descendants will return here; for then the sin of the Amorites will be ripe for judgment.”

And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
