Psalms 105:19

Compare all

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.

Psalms 105:19

Until the time that his word came - This appears to refer to the completion of Joseph' s interpretation of the dreams of the chief butler and baker.

The Word of the Lord tried him - This seems to refer to the interpretation of Pharaoh' s dreams, called imrath Yehovah , "the oracle of the Lord," because sent by him to Pharaoh. See Genesis 41:26, and Kennicott in loco.
