“When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:”
When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said: we cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land. The exhaustion of money and livestock leads to the third resource: bodies and land. The application: the crisis that takes money, then livestock, then threatens land and bodies is the crisis of maximum vulnerability — the people have nothing left but themselves.
