In the Hebrew context, the word "prediction" is often linked to divine revelation or a prophetic word given by God. The historical context here is the account of Joseph, whose dreams were a form of divine prediction. These dreams, given to him in his youth, foretold his rise to a position of power and influence. The phrase underscores the period of waiting and the faith required to trust in God's timing. It serves as a reminder that God's promises are sure, but they often require patience and perseverance. The fulfillment of God's word is inevitable, but it occurs in His perfect timing, not ours. the word of the LORD tested him Word of the Lord.--As a different Hebrew word from that in the previous clause is used, better render, saying (or, oracle) of Jehovah. Tried him.--Better, purified him, i.e., proved him innocent of the charge for which he was imprisoned. (For this sense of the verb, see Psalm 17:3; Psalm 18:30; Proverbs 30:5, margin.) The psalmist means that by enabling him to foretell the dreams of Pharaoh's servants, God brought about the proof of his innocence. . . . Verse 19. - Until the time that his word came; i.e. "came true," "came to pass" (comp. Deuteronomy 18:22; Jeremiah 17:15). Joseph's "word came," when the chief butler was restored to favour, and the chief baker hanged (Genesis 40:20-22). The word of the Lord tried him. It is difficult to decide what "word of the Lord" is meant. Hengstenberg suggests "the promise of the possession of Canaan." But this had not been made to him. Dean Johnson thinks that there is an "implied promise" to Joseph himself in Genesis 37:5, 9, etc. - a promise that he should be raised to an eminent rank above his brethren, and that it was this promise which, during the time of his affliction, "tried" or tested him.Parallel Commentaries ...
