'Famine in the Land' in the Bible

There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down to Egypt to live because the famine was so severe.

Elisha returned to Gilgal during a time of famine in the land. While the Guild of Prophets were having a meal with him, he instructed his attendant, "Put a large pot on the fire and boil some stew for the Guild of Prophets."
