In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. In famine he shall redeem thee - The Chaldee, which understands this chapter as speaking of the troubles and deliverances of the Israelites in Egypt and the wilderness, renders this verse as follows:
"In the famine of Egypt he redeemed thee from death; and in the war of Amalek, from the slaying of the sword."
