‏ Psalms 105:16

     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; Ps 104:15; Isa 3:1).

‏ Matthew 8:8-9
