Historically, Pharaoh was considered a god-like figure, wielding immense power and authority. The Hebrew word for king, "melek," signifies one who reigns with dominion. In the biblical narrative, the king's role is pivotal as he is the one who ultimately releases Joseph from prison. This act of liberation is a testament to God's sovereignty over earthly rulers, demonstrating that even the most powerful human authorities are subject to God's divine plan.<p><b>sent and released him</b><br />The phrase "sent and released him" underscores the divine orchestration behind Joseph's liberation. The Hebrew verb "shalach" (sent) implies a purposeful action, indicating that Pharaoh's decision was influenced by God's will. The release of Joseph from prison is not merely a political or administrative act but a fulfillment of God's promise and providence. This moment marks a turning point in Joseph's life, transitioning him from a place of suffering to a position of influence, aligning with God's greater purpose for him and the nation of Israel.<p><b>the ruler of peoples</b><br />This phrase highlights Pharaoh's extensive authority, as he was not just a local leader but a "ruler of peoples," overseeing a vast and diverse population. The term "ruler" in Hebrew, "mashal," conveys the idea of governance and control. In the biblical context, it emphasizes the reach and impact of Pharaoh's decisions. However, it also serves as a reminder that despite his earthly power, Pharaoh's actions are ultimately guided by God's overarching plan, as seen in the elevation of Joseph to a position of prominence.<p><b>set him free</b><br />The act of setting Joseph free is laden with spiritual significance. The Hebrew word "patar" (set free) suggests a release from bondage or confinement. This liberation is not only physical but also symbolic of God's redemptive power. Joseph's freedom is a precursor to the deliverance that God would later provide for the entire nation of Israel. It serves as a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and His ability to transform dire circumstances into opportunities for His glory and the fulfillment of His promises.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/105.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 20.</span> -
