Psalms105:16

16. God ordered the famine. God

called for a famine--as if it were a servant, ready to come at God's bidding. Compare the centurion's words, as to disease being God's servant (Mt 8:8, 9).

upon the land--namely, Canaan (Ge 41:54).

staff of bread--what supports life (Le 26:26; Psa 104:15; Is 3:1).
