THE MESSAGE
"When the four hundred years were nearly up, the time God promised Abraham for deliverance, the population of our people in Egypt had become very large. And there was now a king over Egypt who had never heard of Joseph. He exploited our race mercilessly. He went so far as forcing us to abandon our newborn infants, exposing them to the elements to die a cruel death.

Contextual Overview
17 now while the time was approaching to accomplish what God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew numerous in Egypt, 18 till another king arose who knew not Joseph. 19 this prince employ'd all his arts against our nation, and persecuted our fathers, by obliging them to expose their young children, in order to extirpate the race. 20 in which time Moses was born, who was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father's house three months: 21 and when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter caused him to be taken up, and maintain'd for her adopted son. 22 at length Moses was instructed in all the sciences of the Egyptians, and had great influence by his counsels and actions. 23 when he was full forty years old, he took the resolution to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 24 and seeing one of them abus'd, he defended him, and avenged the injury by killing the Egyptian: 25 for he supposed his brethren would have perceiv'd by this, that God design'd to make him the instrument of their deliverance; but they did not perceive it. 26 the next day seeing some that were fighting, he would have persuaded them to agree, saying, sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye injure one another?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when the time of the promise drew nigh,.... That is, the time of the four hundred years; when God promised to deliver the seed of Abraham out of their affliction and servitude, and bring them into the land of Canaan to inherit it:
which God had sworn to Abraham; in Genesis 15:13 for though there is no express mention made of an oath, yet there is a most solemn affirmation, which is equivalent to one; the Alexandrian copy and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version read,
which God promised unto Abraham; the people grew and multiplied in Egypt; see Exodus 1:7 insomuch, that though their number were but threescore and ten when they went down to Egypt, and though various methods were taken to destroy them, and lessen their numbers, yet in little more than two hundred years, their number was increased to six hundred thousand, and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men, besides old men, women, and children, and besides two and twenty thousand Levites, Numbers 1:46. And it seems, that they multiplied the more towards the time when the promise of deliverance drew nigh to be accomplished, and even when they were the most afflicted, Exodus 1:12.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The time of the promise - The time of the “fulfillment” of the promise.
The people grew ... - Exodus 1:7-9.
