Salmene 105,22

20 Kongen kalte på ham og satte ham fri,
Folkenes hersker løslot ham.

21 Han satte ham til herre over sitt hus,
Og hersker over alle sine eiendeler,

For å binde hans tjenestemenn etter sin vilje,
Slik at han kunne lære hans eldste visdom.

23 Israel kom også til Egypt;
Så bodde Jakob i Hams land.

24 Og Han gjorde Sitt folk meget fruktbart,
Og gjorde dem sterkere enn deres fiender.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
