8
He has remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
9
The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
10
Then He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the portion of your inheritance,”
12
When they were only a few people in number,
Very few, and strangers in it.
13
And they wandered from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people,
14
He allowed no one to oppress them,
And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
15
“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do not harm My prophets.”
16
And He called for a famine upon the land;
He broke the whole staff of bread.
17
He sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18
They forced his feet into shackles,
He was put in irons;
19
Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of the Lord refined him.
20
The king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
21
He made him lord of his house,
And ruler over all his possessions,
22
To imprison his high officials at will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
23
Israel also came into Egypt;
So Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
