 4. Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Char ran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
 5. And he gave him none inherit ance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
 6. And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 1 z. And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. 8.
