He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
All Commentaries on Psalms 105:17 Go To Psalms 105
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
11. "But He had sent a man before them" (ver. 17). What man? "Even Joseph." How did He send him? "Joseph was sold to be a bond-servant." When this happened, it was the sin of his brethren, and, nevertheless, God sent Joseph into Egypt. We should therefore medirate on this important and necessary subject, how God useth well the evil works of men, as they on the other hand use ill the good works of God.
