Is it possible, on the basis of the text, to establish the approximate time span between God’s prophesy to Abraham about his descendants’ being mistreated in Egypt:
"And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a
stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they
shall afflict them four hundred years;" (Genesis 15:13, KJV)
and the time when Abraham’s descendants actually arrived at Egypt:
"And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in
the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with
him." (Genesis 46:6, KJV)
?
