Psalms 105:10
Compare all
8 He aremembers His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, 
9 aThe covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac, 
10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, a“To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,” 
12 aWhen they were few in number,
Indeed very few, band strangers in it. 
13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,
14 aHe permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, bHe rebuked kings for their sakes, 
15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
16 Moreover aHe called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the bprovision of bread. 
17 aHe sent a man before them—
Joseph—who bwas sold as a slave. 
18 aThey hurt his feet with fetters,
1He was laid in irons. 
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
aThe word of the Lord tested him. 
20 aThe king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free. 
21 aHe made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions, 
22 To1 bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom. 
23 aIsrael also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt bin the land of Ham. 
24 aHe increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies. 
25 aHe turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.

Psalms 105:10

And confirmed the same unto Jacob - literally, "caused it to stand;" that is, he made it fast or secure. He renewed it, commanding the same things; making the same promises; and pledging himself for its fulfillment in the same manner. Genesis 28:10-15.

For a law - For an established or settled ordinance, for a rule by which future things were to be regulated: that is, they would occur according to that promise, and be conformed to it. It was, as it were, a rule which God prescribed for himself in regard to his own future conduct.

And to Israel ... - Another name for Jacob, Genesis 32:28.
