this we learn a little more of Joseph’s sufferings than we find in the book of
Genesis: inspiration had not ceased, and David was as accurate an historian as
Moses, for the same Spirit guided his pen. He was laid in iron, or “into iron came his soul.” The
prayer book version, “the iron
entered into his soul,” is
ungrammatical, but probably expresses much the same truth. His fetters hurt his
mind as well as his body.
