Appears 101 times in Scripture
“Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.”
“Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.”
“Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.”
“The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.”
“but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.”
“This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.””
