And hunger came into all Egypt, and Canaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found not meat.
Soothly they entered into the land of Egypt, with other men that went thither to buy corn; forsooth hunger was in the land of Canaan.
In the meantime hunger oppressed greatly all the land,
and there I shall feed thee; for yet five years of hunger be left, lest both thou perish, and thine house, and all things which thou wieldest.
we came into thy land to be pilgrims, that is, to dwell for a time, for no grass is to the flocks of thy servants; for hunger waxeth grievous in the land of Canaan, and we ask that thou command us thy servants to be in the land of Goshen.
And God called hunger on earth; and he wasted all the steadfastness of bread.
