'And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years,Acts 7:6 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleThat his seed should sojourn in a strange land - See Genesis 15:13, Genesis 15:14. Four hundred years - Moses says, Exodus 12:40, that the sojourning of the children of Israel in Egypt - was 430 years. See the note there. St. Paul has the same number, Galatians 3:17; and so has Josephus, Ant. lib. ii. cap. 1, sect. 9; in Bell. lib. v. cap. 9, sect. 4. St. Stephen uses the round number of 400, leaving out the odd tens, a thing very common, not only in the sacred writers, but in all others, those alone excepted who write professedly on chronological matters.

Exodus 3:10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt."
Exodus 12:40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.
Galatians 3:17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.
