Psalm 105:12–17
12 God’s people were few in number,
strangers in the land of Canaan.
13 They wandered from country to country,
from one kingdom to another.
14* But God let no one oppress them;
to protect them, he warned the kings:
15* “Don’t harm my chosen servants;
do not touch my prophets.”
16* The Lord sent famine to their country
and took away all their food.
17* But he sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
