How did the global famine effect the Amorites and Egyptians? (1) Amorite king Abi-Eshuh damed up the Tigris river to starve out the Sealanders. Egyptian king Senusert III's 20th year his troops barely make it back to Egypt from Nubia cause the Nile river was lower during the global famine. (2) Amorite king Ammi-Ditanni's reign over Babylon merchants charge farmers 33% of their crops as payment for loans. The global famine is gone and the farmers in Babylon are trying to recover. The farmers which cannot pay are sold into slavery. These Babylonian slaves are sold to the Minoans and Egyptian king Amenemhet III who uses them to complete Bahr Yousef (Joseph's canal). (3) Amorite king Ammi-Saduqa tells all merchants to cancel farmer's debts or face execution. Babylon was losing too much manpower to the Minoans and Egyptians. Amenemhet III uses these slaves on his various building projects. (4) Amorite king Samsu-Ditana has a prosperous reign. He gives praise to his moon-god Sin. Egyptian king Ahmose drives the Canaanite/ Hyksos out of Egypt which were living in Egypt since the days of Senusert III when Joseph controlled the economies of both Egypt and Canaan. Ahmose worshipped the Egyptian moon-god Iah. The Canaanites leave in the first Exodus. After Ahmose dies, Amorite king Samsu-Ditanna falls from power.

Today we have 130 nations which cannot feed their poor. Israel has the technology which can make deserts bloom, yet many of these nations are hostile towards Israel. God says,"I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel". (Genesis 12:3) How true those words are today.
