16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
17 He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19 Until the time that his word happened, And Yahweh`s word proved him true.
20 The king sent and freed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all of his possessions;
22 To discipline his princes at his pleasure, And to teach his elders wisdom.
