 Parbar Westward: "And Joseph Was Brought Down..." by Jim Kerwin

speaks of Joseph: “Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron.” But the marginal note will speak far more deeply to those who walk in the Spirit: “his soul came into iron;” or, perhaps, as Edersheim translates it: “iron entered into his soul.” The shackles bound his very heart and soul.
Joseph puts his reliance in nothing — not his abilities, his experiences, nor even the promises he has received — nothing except His heavenly Father.
