Psalms 105:10-23

10and confirmed to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11saying, “To you I give the land of Canaan, the portion of your inheritance.”

12When they were but few in number, few indeed, and foreigners in it,

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

14He allowed no one to oppress them— for their sake He rebuked kings:

15“Touch not My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.”

16He called down a famine on the land. He broke the whole supply of bread.

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

18They hurt His feet with shackles, he was put in irons—

19till the time that his word came true— the word of Adonai proved him true!

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

21He made him lord of his house, ruler over all his possessions,

22to discipline his princes at his will, and teach his elders wisdom.

23Then Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
