Any book that makes that statement is in error. A careful reading of Genesis and Exodus details the time scale.

Answer:

The line is Exodus 12:40, so the book is Exodus.

Answer:

The Torah-sages (quoted in Rashi commentary) have explained that the 430 years are calculated from the Covenant Between the Parts (Genesis ch.15), since at that time God foretold the Egyptian slavery. In addition, Egypt had garrisons in Canaan during the time of the Forefathers, so in a sense it's literally meant that even they were under Egyptian authority.

The 400 years foretold in Genesis ch.15 are calculated from the birth of Isaac, while the actual Egyptian exile was 210 years; and the slavery itself was slightly over 100 years.

If you're talking about the figures in the Biblical book of Genesis, then let's back up a few generations and try to get it straight: -- Abraham migrated to Israel late in his life. His children included his son Isaac. -- Isaac lived his whole life in Israel. His children included his son Jacob. -- Jacob left Israel, worked for his uncle for 20 years, and returned to Israel. He had 12 sons and one daughter. Joseph was one of the sons. Dina was the daughter. Joseph was forcibly taken to Egypt as a teen-ager. Years later, Jacob and the rest of his family migrated to Egypt during a famine. All of them died there. Their descendants left to return to Israel only after another 230 years, and only a few of them completed the return trip. -- Joseph had two sons: Ephraim and Menassah. There were no daughters.
