“But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.”
King James Version (KJV)
15:16 They shall come hither again - Hither to the land of Canaan, wherein thou now art. The reason why they must not have the land of promise in possession till the fourth generation, is because the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet full. The righteous God has determined, that they shall not be cut off till they are arrived to such a pitch of wickedness; and therefore till it come to that, the seed of Abram must be kept out of possession.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the iniquitie of the Amorites is not yet full.
