Barnes's Psalms 105:23 Bible Commentary
Israel also came into Egypt - Another name for Jacob; see Psalm 105:10.
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham - Not as a permanent abode, but as a temporary arrangement, until the time should come for the people to be removed to the land of promise. See Genesis 46:6. The more literal rendering would be, "Jacob was a stranger - a foreigner - in the land of Ham." On the meaning of the word "Ham," see the notes at Psalm 78:51.
Wesley's Psalms 105:23 Bible Commentary
105:23 Ham - Ham was the father of Mizraim, or the Egyptians, Gen 10:6.
