  1. Psalm 105:18 Lit His soul came into

16-22 Then he called down a famine on the country,
    he broke every last blade of wheat.
But he sent a man on ahead:
    Joseph, sold as a slave.
They put cruel chains on his ankles,
    an iron collar around his neck,
Until God’s word came to the Pharaoh,
    and God confirmed his promise.

    put him in charge of all his business
To personally instruct his princes
    and train his advisors in wisdom.
