Context of Psalms 105:21

19He remained a slave until what he said would happen really happened. Then the Lord showed that Joseph was right. 20The powerful king of Egypt sent someone to let Joseph go free out of prison. The king made Joseph master of his palace. Joseph took care of everything that belonged to the king. 22The king gave him authority over his officers. He could teach the king's leaders, so that they would know what to do. 23Then Jacob's family came into Egypt. They lived as strangers in the land of Ham's descendants.
