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 your portion for an inheritance."

12When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,

13wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

14he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,

15saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!"

16When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread,

17he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him.

20The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free;

21he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,

22to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.

23Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
