Genesis 15:13

13Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain hthat your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and ithey will be afflicted for jfour hundred years.

Acts 7:6

6And God spoke to this effect—that khis offspring would lbe sojourners in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and afflict them mfour hundred years.

Galatians 3:16-17

16Now nthe promises were made oto Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, pAnd to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17This is what I mean: the law, which came q430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as rto make the promise void.
