ઈશ્વરે તેને કહ્યું કે, તારા વંશજો પરદેશમાં રહેશે, અને ત્યાંના લોકો ચારસો વર્ષ સુધી તેઓને ગુલામગીરીમાં રાખીને દુઃખ આપશે.
हिन्दीप्रेरितों के काम ७:६
और परमेश्वर ने यह कहा, ‘तेरी सन्तान के लोग पराए देश में परदेशी होंगे, और वे उन्हें दास बनाएँगे, और चार सौ वर्ष तक दुःख देंगे।’ (उत्प. 15:13,14, निर्ग. 2:22)

In context

4Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.

5He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.

6God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.

7‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’

8He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
