Read the word..it is the fourth generation after they are enslaved..did you think God does not know what he is talking about?

Gen 15:14   And also that nation,*** whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. ***
  
  Gen 15:15   And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
  
  Gen 15:16  ** But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full. **

You missed out on a verse

Gen 15:13 And God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years

Four generations = Four hundred years? 100 years for each generation? Really? Do you think, maybe, that God is speaking symbolically here? Just maybe?
