Psalms 105:16-24
Psalms 105:16-24 AMP
¶And He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He cut off every source of bread. [Gen 41:54] He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. [Gen 45:5; 50:20, 21] His feet they hurt with shackles; He was put in chains of iron, Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true, The word of the LORD tested and refined him. The king sent and released him, The ruler of the peoples [of Egypt], and set him free. He made Joseph lord of his house And ruler of all his possessions, [Gen 41:40] To imprison his princes at his will, That he might teach his elders wisdom. Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. [Gen 46:6] There the LORD greatly increased [the number of] His people, And made them more powerful than their enemies.
