It is interesting how God uses famines to bring about his purpose. This famine drove abraham into Egypt. The second famine (Gen 26:1) was during the time of Isaac and he goes to Abimelech, King of the Philestines. The third famine was during the time of Joseph in Gen. 41:56. Isaac had to move to Egypt with all his family and possessions. In Ruth Chapt 1 - The famine encourages Naomi to go to Moab. God uses all of these famines to create and set up great events in Israel's history.
