Puritan Board Doctor
His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; (ESV)
I'm surprised that commentators seem to have a hard time interpreting this verse. They can't decide whether to take it literally, metaphorically, or poetically. I've always assumed that it's literal - the unnamed psalmist, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is giving details about Joseph's Egyptian imprisonment not revealed in Genesis.
Any thoughts?
