[15:16]  1 sn The term generation is being used here in its widest sense to refer to a full life span. When the chronological factors are considered and the genealogies tabulated, there are four hundred years of bondage. This suggests that in this context a generation is equivalent to one hundred years.

[15:16]  2 tn Heb “they”; the referent (“your descendants”) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[15:16]  3 tn Heb “is not yet complete.”
