Commentary on Psalms 105:17
God 'sent a man before them' - Joseph, who was 'sold for a servant.' This reveals divine providence working through human wickedness. Joseph's brothers' sin became God's means of preserving Israel. Joseph went ahead to prepare salvation. This prefigures Christ, rejected by His brothers (John 1:11) but sent ahead to prepare salvation. 'Sold' (makar) recalls Joseph's sale into slavery (Gen 37:28), yet God orchestrated it for good (Gen 50:20). The Reformed doctrine of providence recognizes God's sovereign purposes accomplished even through sin.
