📚 Historical Context

In Genesis 15, God is making a covenant with Abraham, promising him numerous descendants and foretelling future events for his family. God reveals that Abraham's descendants will be enslaved in a foreign land, specifically Egypt, for about four hundred years, but He will judge the oppressing nation and ensure their liberation. This prophecy was later fulfilled in the Exodus, where the Israelites left Egypt with great wealth as described in the book of Exodus.
