psalms 105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

psalms 105:16 And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

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; Ps 104:15; Isa 3:1).

psalms 105:16 And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
