Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
God Himself called for a famine upon the land and broke the whole staff of bread, taking away its entire supply. That famine came before Joseph was enslaved and then raised to authority in Egypt. It was through that sequence that Israel later came to live there. The verse belongs to the record of Israel's wilderness experience in Psalm 105, to be read together with Psalm 106.
It holds a lesson of warning that God's people in the last days especially need to study. It should be studied regularly, at least once every week. Its words are to be taken into personal experience as a reason to trust God's word and to give thanks for His goodness and enduring mercy.
