all the persons of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy. Where there is famine...there is no fruitfulness. There were on 70 people left in Joseph family. Sin and unrepentance causes famine in every part of your life. Nothing works properly naturally and spiritually. But when you get repent and go back to God. Life becomes fruitful again. Nothing can love, live, or be without God. 27 Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous. They became very fruitful and numerous in the will of God. I must ask myself "does my life show fruitfulness or are there any barren places because I have allowed famine (a spirit) in?"
