Psalm 105:18
“Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:”
KJV
Read in Psalm 105Meaning
The psalm does not sanitize Joseph's suffering; bodily pain and imprisonment are part of the remembered story.
Joseph suffers, is tested, and is raised to preserve life
Famine leads into Joseph's enslavement, testing, release, and appointment to authority.
Read carefully
The verse records Joseph's pain; it does not prescribe abuse as a pathway to maturity.
Reflection
Do not erase the severity of what was endured.
