§. 16. Of long continued famine.
III. *A Famine may long continue without intermission. Here was a famine of three years, year after year. aIn Elijah's time a famine continued three years and six months. bIn Egypt and all the land of Canaan a famine continued seven years together. cThe like was in Israel in Elisha's time. In the time of the Judges a famine continued ten years, as by probable arguments may be conjectured. For, dElimelech with Naomi his wife went into Moab to sojourn there by reason of a famine in Israel. eWhen Naomi heard that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread, she arose to go into her own country. But from the first coming of her husband into Moab, to this her returning, she had dwelt fabout ten years in Moab.
III. *A Famine may long continue without intermission. Here was a famine of three yeares, yeare after yeare. aIn Eliahs time a famine continued three yeares and six moneths. bIn Egypt and all the land of Canaan a famine continued seven yeares together.
