hurt with fetters-- (Gen 40:3).
was laid in iron--literally, "his soul" (see on Psa 16:10), or, "he came into iron," or, he was bound to his grief (compare Psa 3:2; Psa 11:1). The "soul" is put for the whole person, because the soul of the captive suffers still more than the body. Joseph is referred to as being an appropriate type of those "bound in affliction and iron" (Psa 107:10). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Whose feet they hurt with fetters - In Gen 40:3; it is said of Joseph that he was "bound" in prison. It is not improbable that his "feet" were bound, as this is the usual way of confining prisoners.
He was laid in iron - In the prison. The margin is, "his soul came into iron." The version in the Prayer-Book of the Episcopal Church is, the iron entered into his soul. This is a more striking and beautiful rendering, though it may be doubted whether the Hebrew will permit it. DeWette renders it, "In iron lay his body." |
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
