20. The king sent and released him;the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21. he made him lord of his houseand ruler of all his possessions,
22. to bind his princes at his pleasureand to teach his elders wisdom.
23. Then Israel came to Egypt;Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24. And the Lord made his people very fruitfuland made them stronger than their foes.
25. He turned their hearts to hate his people,to deal craftily with his servants.
26. He sent Moses, his servant,and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27. They performed his signs among themand miracles in the land of Ham.
28. He sent darkness, and made the land dark;they did not rebel against his words.
