Psalms 105:24

22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than 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.
