1855. Verse 16 And in the fourth generation they will return from here, for the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet come to a close.

'In the fourth generation they will return from here' means the period of time and the state of restoration. 'For the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet come to a close' means the final period of time when there is no longer any good.
