Psalm 105:22–26

22 to instruct his princes as he pleased

and teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel entered Egypt;

Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;

he made them too numerous for their foes,

25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people,

to conspire against his servants.

26 He sent Moses his servant,

and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure;

And teach his senators wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt;

And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people greatly;

And made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people,

To deal subtilly with his servants.

26 He sent Moses his servant;

And Aaron whom he had chosen.

22 He could instruct the king’s aides as he pleased

and teach the king’s advisers.

23 Then Israel arrived in Egypt;

Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24 And the Lord multiplied the people of Israel

until they became too mighty for their enemies.

25 Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites,

and they plotted against the Lord’s servants.

26 But the Lord sent his servant Moses,

along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure,

And teach his elders wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt,

And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

24 He increased His people greatly,

And made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He turned their heart to hate His people,

To deal craftily with His servants.

26 He sent Moses His servant,

And Aaron whom He had chosen.

22 He could order the princes as he wished.

He taught the older men to be wise.

23 Then his father Israel came to Egypt;

Jacob lived in Egypt.

24 The Lord made his people grow in number,

and he made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He caused the Egyptians to hate his people

and to make plans against his servants.

26 Then he sent his servant Moses,

and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure,

And teach his elders wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt;

And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people greatly,

And made them stronger than their adversaries.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people,

To deal subtly with his servants.

26 He sent Moses his servant,

And Aaron whom he had chosen.

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. 23 And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 26 He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen:

22 Joseph trained the king’s officers the way he wanted 

and taught his respected leaders wisdom. 

23 Then Israel came to Egypt. 

Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham. 

24 The Lord made his people grow rapidly in number 

and stronger than their enemies. 

25 He changed their minds so that they hated his people, 

and they dealt treacherously with his servants. 

26 He sent his servant Moses, and he sent Aaron, whom he had chosen. 

22 binding his officials at will

and instructing his elders.

23 Then Israel went to Egypt;

Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24 The Lord made His people very fruitful;

He made them more numerous than their foes,

25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people

and to deal deceptively with His servants.

26 He sent Moses His servant,

and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

22 to instruct his officials at his pleasure

and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel came to Egypt;

Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.

24 And the Lord made his people very fruitful

and made them stronger than their foes,

25 whose hearts he then turned to hate his people,

to deal craftily with his servants.

26 He sent his servant Moses

and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

22 to obligate his officials as he saw fit

and teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel came to Egypt,

and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Ham.

24 And he made his people very fruitful.

He also made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people,

to deal deceitfully against his servants.

26 He sent his servant Moses,

together with Aaron whom he had chosen.

22 Joseph was in charge of teaching the princes.

He taught the elders how to think and live wisely.

23 Then the rest of Jacob’s family went to Egypt.

The people of Israel lived as outsiders in the land of Ham.

24 The Lord gave his people so many children

that there were too many of them for their enemies.

25 He made the Egyptians hate his people.

The Egyptians made evil plans against them.

26 The Lord sent his servant Moses to the king of Egypt.

He sent Aaron, his chosen one, along with him.

22 To imprison his princes at will,

That he might teach his elders wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt;

Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 And He caused His people to be very fruitful,

And made them stronger than their adversaries.

25 He turned their heart to hate His people,

To deal craftily with His servants.

26 He sent Moses His servant,

And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
