They will be enslaved and oppressed for 400 years.

9 And he said to him, “Take for me a heifer three years old and a female goat three years old and a ram three years old and a turtledove and a dove.” 10 And he took for him all these and divided them in the middle and placed them facing one another, but he did not divide the birds. 11 And birds came down on the carcasses, their cut halves, and Abram sat together with them. 12 Then about sunset a trance fell upon Abram, and look, a great dark fear was falling upon him. 13 And it was said to Abram, “Knowledgeably you shall know that your offspring shall be alien in a land not its own, and theyc shall enslave them and maltreat them and humble them for four hundred years.
