The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
The verse describes Joseph's release, when the king sent for him and loosed him from imprisonment and set him free after his affliction. That release took place when the time came for God's word concerning Joseph to be fulfilled. Joseph had been chosen to bear a heavy burden in Egypt so that the knowledge of God could shine there, and he remained faithful to his sacred trust.
The verse belongs to the record of Israel's experience in Psalm 105 and Psalm 106. It is to be read carefully together with Psalm 106 and Psalm 107. It reveals God's goodness, mercy, and love and teaches all who claim to be God's children the necessity of appreciating that goodness, mercy, and love.
As part of that record it holds lessons of warning that God's people in the last days especially need to study, reading it at least once every week. The record recalls that all the fathers were under the cloud and passed through the sea and were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They ate the same spiritual meat and drank the same spiritual drink from the spiritual Rock that followed them, which was Christ. Yet with many of them God was not well pleased and they were overthrown in the wilderness.
