Psalms 105:16
He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
BSB
ASV
And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.
KJV
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
Note, All judgments are at God's call, and no place is exempt from their visitation and jurisdiction when God sends them forth with commission. To try the faith of the patriarchs, God broke the whole staff of bread, even in that good land, that they might plainly see God designed them a better country than that was.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
