“神給亞伯拉罕的應許快要實現的時候，以色列人在埃及人口繁盛增多；

『當應許的時期、上帝向亞伯拉罕所公然應許的、將近實現的時候、人民在埃及興盛加多，

迨上帝許亞伯拉罕之期已近、民於埃及、滋生蕃衍、

迨天主所許於亞伯漢者之期將屆、義塞人在埃及日漸蕃衍；

“ As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.

“ In Egypt the number of our people grew and grew. It was nearly time for God to make his promise to Abraham come true.

“ But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt

“ As the time drew near when God would fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt greatly increased.

“ As the time was approaching to fulfill the promise that God had made to Abraham, the people flourished and multiplied in Egypt

“ But as the time of the promise which God had assured to Abraham was approaching, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

“ But when the time of the promise drew near which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt

But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

這以色列民族的神揀選了我們的祖先，當他們寄居在埃及地的時候，高舉他們，並用大能的膀臂帶領他們從那裡出來。

神這樣說：『他的後裔要在他人之地做寄居的，那裡的人要奴役、虐待他們四百年。

耶和華使他的子民生養眾多，使他們比敵人更強盛。他又使敵人的心轉去恨他的子民，用詭計對付他的僕人們。

可是，各位蒙愛的人哪，你們不可忽略這一點：在主看來，一日如千年，千年如一日。主沒有像有些人認為的那樣，拖延所應許的；相反，他對你們恆久忍耐，不願任何人滅亡，而願所有人都來悔改。

耶和華對亞伯蘭說：「你要確切知道：你的後裔將在不屬於自己的地上寄居，並服事那地的人；那地的人將苦待他們四百年。但我將審判他們所服事的那個國家；此後他們將帶著大量的財物出來。至於你，你必平平安安地歸到你祖先那裡，你必盡享天年，才被安葬。他們到第四代才會回到這裡，因為亞摩利人的罪孽還沒有滿盈。」
