¹ And He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He[2] cut off every source of bread.

² He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

³ His feet they hurt with shackles; [3] He was put in chains of iron,

⁴ Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true, The word of the LORD tested and refined him.

⁵ The king sent and released him, The ruler of the peoples [of Egypt], and set him free.

⁶ He made Joseph lord of his house And ruler of all his possessions,

⁷ To imprison his princes at his will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

⁸ Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

⁹ There the LORD greatly increased [the number of] His people, And made them more powerful than their enemies.
