Psalms 105:10-23

10Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the measured portion of your inheritance.”

12When there were only a few men in number, Very few [in fact], and strangers in it;

13And they wandered from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people,

14He allowed no man to oppress them; He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,

15“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”

16And He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He cut off every source of bread.

17He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18His feet they hurt with shackles; He was put in chains of iron,

19Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true, The word of the Lord tested and refined him.

20The king sent and released him, The ruler of the peoples [of Egypt], and set him free.

21He made Joseph lord of his house And ruler of all his possessions,

22To imprison his princes at his will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

23Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
