The 400 years period is the approximate period of silence between the time of Malachi (circa 430 BCE) and the New Testament period. In Malachi 3:1, it is written that a messenger will prepare the way, which according to Christian tradition is John the Baptist as described in the New Testament. The time period between Malachi and John the Baptist is roughly 400 years.

Where is it in the bible where God did not speak for 400 years?
The period of 400 years during which God did not speak is often referred to as the "silent years" between the Old Testament and the New Testament. This time frame is not explicitly stated in a specific verse, but it encompasses the period from the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, to the beginning of the New Testament. This gap highlights the prophetic silence before the arrival of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.

Why was the inter-testament period referred to as the 400 silent years?
I think the reason is God did not speak through prophets during that period, whereas the Old Testament ends with Malachi and the New Testament begins with Jesus and John the Baptist. It may simply be because the Christian Bible does not acknowledge any texts written during that time as the inspired Word of God. There was roughly a 450-year gap between the writing of Malachi and the writing of Matthew.
