Psalm 105:10-23

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ And He has since confirmed it to Jacob for a Law, and to Israel for an everlasting Covenant,

¹¹ saying, “To You I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”

¹² when they were few in number (indeed, very few) and strangers in the land

¹³ and walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

¹⁴ Still, He allowed no man to do them wrong, but rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,

¹⁵ “Do not touch My anointed, nor do my Prophets harm.”

¹⁶ Moreover, He called a famine upon the land, and utterly broke the staff of bread.

¹⁷ But, He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

¹⁸ They held his feet in the stocks; and he was laid in irons

¹⁹ until his appointed time came, and the counsel of the LORD had tried him.

²⁰ The King sent and released him. The ruler of the people delivered him.

²¹ He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,

²² so that he could bind his princes to his will and teach his ancients wisdom.

²³ Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
