Psalms 105:25
23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
24 And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
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.
27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
