Sie aber sollen nach vier Mannesaltern wieder hierher kommen; denn die Missetat der Amoriter ist noch nicht voll.
Y en la cuarta generación volverán acá: porque aun no está cumplida la maldad del Amorrheo hasta aquí.
En la cuarta generación regresarán aquí, porque la maldad de los amorreos aún no ha llegado a su colmo».
A la quatrième génération, ils reviendront ici; car l'iniquité des Amoréens n'est pas encore à son comble.
E nella quarta generazione, essi ritorneranno qua; perciocchè fino ad ora l’iniquità degli Amorrei non è compiuta
E a quarta geração tornará para cá; porque a medida da injustiça dos amorreus não está ainda cheia.
到了第四代,他們必回到這裏,因為 亞摩利 人的罪惡到現在還沒有滿盈。」
