"Also the tenth plague, the slaughtering of the first-born ( Exodus 12:29 ), was striking at least one god, and that was the king, who was considered to be Horus, the son of Osiris. As the ruler of the Nile country, he was addressed by his subjects as “the good god.” Hence, the last plague crowned the actions wrought by the miracle- working power of the Hebrew God. So far gods controlling the forces of nature or animals had been disgraced, but now a god living in a visible form among the Egyptians was also humiliated by the despised God of the Hebrew slaves, of whom the proud Pharaoh once had said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.” Exodus 5:2 . PP 759.1"

"Note 3. Page 282. In Genesis 15:13 we read that the Lord said to Abraham, “Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them: And they shall afflict them four hundred years.” This text raises the questions whether the 400 years refer to the time of affliction or sojourning, or both, and what the relation of the 400 years is to the 430 years of Exodus 12:40, 41 , and Galatians 3:16, 17 . PP 759.2"

"time the 430 years began, when Abraham was seventy-five years old ( chapter 12:4 ), while the 400 years of the prophecy of Genesis 15:13 began thirty years later, when Abraham was 105 and his son Isaac five years old ( Chapter 21:5 ). At that time Ishmael, who “was born after the flesh persecuted him [Isaac] that was born after the Spirit” ( Galatians 4:29 ; Genesis 21:9-11 ), beginning a time of affliction of Abraham's seed which intermittently would be continued until the time of the Exodus. Isaac had not only troubles with his half brother Ishmael, but also with the Philistines ( Genesis 26:15, 20, 21 ); Jacob fled for his life from Esau ( Genesis 27:41-43 ), and later from Laban ( Genesis 31:21 ), and then was again in jeopardy from Esau ( Genesis 32:8 ); Joseph was sold into slavery by his brethren ( Genesis 37:28 ), and the children of Israel were oppressed by the Egyptians for many decades ( Exodus 1:14 ).

"And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;"

The time from Abraham's call to Jacob's entry into Egypt was 215 years, being the total of (1) twenty-five years lying between Abraham's call and the birth of Isaac ( Genesis 12:4 ; Genesis 21:5 ), (2) sixty years lying between Isaac's birth and Jacob's birth ( Genesis 25:26 ), and (3) the age of Jacob at the time of his migration into Egypt ( Genesis 47:9 ). This leaves the remaining 215 years of the 430 as the actual time the Hebrews spent in Egypt. Hence the 430 years of Exodus 12:40 includes the sojourn of the patriarchs in Canaan as well as their stay in Egypt. Since in the time of Moses, Palestine was part of the Egyptian empire, it is not strange to find an author of that period including Canaan in the term “Egypt.” The translators of the Septuagint, knowing that the 430 years included the sojourn of the patriarchs in Canaan, made this point clear in their rendering of this passage: “And the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt and the …
