Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.Genesis 42:5So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.Genesis 41:56When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.Genesis 50:20As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.Psalms 105:16–17He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.Deuteronomy 9:28Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’Nehemiah 5:2Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous. We must get grain in order to eat and stay alive.”2 Samuel 21:1During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD.
