In Genesis 15:13-16 (NIV), God confirms His unconditional covenant with Abram and makes several future prophecies. God promises Abram a multitude of descendants who will inherit the land in which Abram sojourns. God then gives Abram a brief timeline of future events: โKnow for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated thereโ (Genesis 15:13). And then, โIn the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measureโ (verse 16).
This passage is sometimes interpreted to mean that God was giving the Amorites time to repent before His judgment would fall upon them. God exercised patience and provided an extended period during which the Amorites could potentially turn from their wickedness before His judgment would fall upon them when the Israelites would return and take possession of the land. The Amorites were one of the peoples inhabiting the land that would later be given to the Israelites.
During the time of Moses, God gave the reason for the Canaanitesโ downfall: โThe land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitantsโ (Leviticus 18:25). The practices listed in Leviticus 18 were a part of why God was judging the nations in Canaan and commanding the Israelites not to do these things. The chapter concludes with a warning that the land would vomit out its inhabitants because they defiled it with such practices. The "sins of the Amorites" is a phrase that can be seen as encompassing these and other violations of God's commandments, leading to their eventual judgment as part of the broader narrative of the conquest of Canaan in the Bible.
God had predicted the Canaanites' downfall all the way back in Abraham's time. The Amorites were wicked, and the bottom line is Judgment Day was coming. Joshua's conquest took place only after the sin of the Canaanites had โreached its full measureโ (Genesis 15:16). God's timing is perfect, and His judgment on the wicked is certain. We should trust and surrender to Him to avoid being on the wrong side of the tracks.
