and said to him, Go forth out of thy country, and from among thy relations, and come hither to a land which I will shew thee. Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans, and, dwelt in Charran: and from thence, after his father was dead, God removed him as a sojourner into this very country, in which we now dwell.

Then spake God to him thus, That his seed should sojourn in a foreign land: and that they should enslave it, and grievously afflict it, four hundred years.

And if indeed they had fixed their minds on that from whence they had gone forth, they might have had opportunity to go back to it again.
