17. He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
18. His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in chains of iron,
19. Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.
20. The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21. He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;
22. To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.
23. Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24. And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
25. He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.
26. He sent Moses his servant, And Aaron whom he had chosen.
27. They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
