Psalms 105:12
Compare all
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.
