17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a slave,
18 whose feet they hurt with fetters; his soul was laid in iron.
19 Until the time that his word came, the spoken word of the Lord purified him.
20 The king sent and loosed him, the ruler of the people 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 Afterwards Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
