Psalm 105:25
“He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 105Meaning
The verse compresses the turn from protected migrants to an oppressed people within Egypt.
Israel in Egypt, Moses, and the signs of judgment
The psalm recounts Israel's growth, Egyptian hostility, the sending of Moses and Aaron, and the plagues culminating in the death of the firstborn.
Read carefully
It narrates oppression in a specific setting and does not authorize reciprocal ethnic hatred.
Reflection
Take organized injustice seriously rather than reducing it to private dislike.
