Context of Psalms 105:21

19Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character. 20Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free; the ruler of the nation opened his prison door. Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household; he became ruler over all the king’s possessions. 22He could instruct the king’s aides as he pleased and teach the king’s advisers. 23Then Israel arrived in Egypt; Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
