Genesis 15:
13 Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them for four hundred years.
14 And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
15 Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
Israel spent four hundred years in bondage for no acts of their own,
but for Yahweh’s own purpose.
One is revealed at the going in:
“for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
The second is revealed in the coming out:
Exodus 23:9. Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
For those who believe that Yahweh commanded genocide in His judgment
on the Amorites, know that His judgment was merciful.
Your must be informed by the Torah:
Leviticus 18:
24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways. For in all of these the nations
which I am dismissing before your face are defiled.
25 Since the land is unclean I shall visit its depravity on it, and the land shall
vomit out its dwellers.
26 As for you, you will observe My statutes and My judgments,
and not do any of these abhorrences, either the native or the sojourner
sojourning in your midst.
27 (for the men of the land who were before you have done all these abhorrences,
and the land is unclean),
28 so that the land shall not vomit you out when you defile it,
just as it vomited out the nations which were before you.
29 For anyone who shall do any of these abhorrences,
the souls doing them will be cut off from among their people.
30 Hence you will keep My charge by no means to do any of
the abhorrent habitual statutes which were practiced before you
so that you may not defile yourselves by them:
I, Yahweh, am your Elohim.
The suffering that the Amorites were due, for all their depravity and abhorrences they committed against the land, would have far exceeded the merciful judgment of being “put to the sword” under Yeshua.
