Psalms 105:25
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
BSB
ASV
He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.
KJV
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
Israel . . . and Jacob--that is, Jacob himself is meant, as Ps 105:24 speaks of "his people." Still, he came with his whole house (Ge 46:6, 7). sojourned-- (Ge 47:4). land of Ham--or, Egypt (Ps 78:51).
Malice is crafty to destroy: Satan has the serpent's subtlety, with his venom. It was God that turned the hearts of the Egyptians against them; for every creature is that to us that he makes it to be, a friend or an enemy. Though God is not the author of the sins of men, yet he serves his own purposes by them.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
