What does the Bible say about famine in the land?

In the book of Ruth, specifically Ruth 1:1, it is noted that there was a famine in the land during the days when the judges ruled. This famine serves as a pivotal event that leads Elimelech and his family to Moab, setting the stage for God's remarkable blessings through Ruth's lineage leading to Jesus Christ. The scripture highlights how God can use even devastating periods of famine to bring about His sovereign purposes and blessings, as all things work together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
