Genesis 15:16
“But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 15Meaning
God says Abram's descendants will return in the fourth generation because the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.
Read carefully
The statement about Amorite iniquity concerns delayed judgment in the narrative and must not be turned into a racial doctrine or a warrant for modern hostility.
Reflection
The passage invites trust in God's faithfulness while keeping promise, waiting, and fulfillment in their proper narrative order.
