Genesis 15:13-18 And He [God] said unto Abram [Abraham], Know of a surety that [you and] thy seed [descendants] shall be a stranger in a land [among Amorites, Kenites, Hittites, Perizzites, etc. and also in Egypt] that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years [in both Cannan and Egypt]; And also that nation [Egypt], whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. **But in the fourth generation [Levi, Kohath, Amram, Moses or Levi, Jochebed, Aaron, Eleazar ~ about 140 years total in Egypt, not 400 years in Egypt] they shall come [out of Egypt and back to Cannan and make it Israel] hither again: for the iniquity [judgment] of the Amorites is not yet full [but will be in 400 years]. And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. ***In the same day [Cannan Passover 430 years before the Egypt Passover] the LORD made a ***covenant with Abram [the famous Abrahamic Covenant], saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land [Israel], from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri. And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites. And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families. These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.

Numbers 26:58-60 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. **And Kohath begat Amram. And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Exodus 12:40-43 Now the sojourning [travels] of the [Jews] Children of Israel, who {also} dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years [in both Cannan and Egypt]. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years [starting in Genesis 15:13 ~ night of the Abrahamic Covenant], even the selfsame day [Passover 430 years later] it came to pass, that all the hosts [people] of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the Children of Israel in their generations. And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the [Egypt] Passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
