The Hebrew word for "bruised" is "עִנּוּ" (innu), which conveys the idea of affliction or oppression. This word choice emphasizes the severity of Joseph's suffering, as he was not merely restrained but actively harmed. The use of "shackles" (בַּכֶּבֶל, bakkebel) indicates a form of imprisonment that was both physical and symbolic. Shackles were often made of iron or bronze, materials that signify strength and endurance, suggesting that Joseph's trials were not only painful but also enduring. Historically, this reflects the harsh conditions of ancient prisons, where prisoners were often bound in chains, highlighting the depth of Joseph's trials and the injustice he faced.<p><b>his neck was put in irons</b><br />The phrase "his neck was put in irons" further intensifies the image of Joseph's suffering. The Hebrew word for "irons" is "בַּרְזֶל" (barzel), which literally means iron, a metal known for its strength and unyielding nature. This suggests that Joseph's bondage was not only physical but also deeply humiliating and dehumanizing. The neck, a symbol of dignity and freedom, being bound in iron, indicates a complete subjugation and loss of autonomy. In a broader scriptural context, this imagery foreshadows the trials and tribulations that God's chosen often endure before their eventual exaltation. Joseph's experience serves as a powerful reminder of the perseverance required in the face of suffering and the faithfulness of God in delivering His people from bondage. Historically, this reflects the brutal reality of ancient imprisonment, where such restraints were common, underscoring the authenticity and historical accuracy of the biblical narrative.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/105.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(18) <span class= "bld">He was laid in iron.</span>--The Prayer Book Version, "the iron entered into his soul," has established itself so firmly among expressive proverbial sayings, that the mind almost resents the Authorised Version. The grammar of the clause does not decide its sense with certainty; for its syntax is rather in favour of the Prayer Book Version, though the feminine form of the verb makes in favour of the marginal rendering. Symmachus has, "his soul came into iron;" the LXX., "his soul passed through iron." The Vulg., however, has the other Version, "the iron passed through his soul"--first found in the Targum. The parallelism is in favour of the Authorised Version.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/105.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 18.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron;</span> rather, <span class="accented">his soul entered into iron.</span> In Genesis nothing more is said than that Joseph "was bound" in the prison (<a href="/genesis/40-3.htm">Genesis 40:3</a>).
