The Lord Prepares the Way through Joseph

Psalms 105:16-25

And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.

He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.

The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.

He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.

To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.

And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.

And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.

He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
