`And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan,
And the famine is severe in the land;
and I have nourished thee there--for yet are five years of famine--lest thou become poor, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.
and they say unto Pharaoh, `To sojourn in the land we have come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants have, for grievous is the famine in the land of Canaan; and now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land of Goshen.'
And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
