<p>7:11 <i>Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction; and our fathers found no sustenance</i>- Note the focus on these two areas. The entire region was affected, according to Genesis; for peoples from all surrounding nations not just Canaan came to Egypt to buy corn. The intention may be to parallel Egypt and Canaan because of the theme Stephen is developing, that there is no holy land or place; and Israel is as Egypt. See on 7:6; 7:7 <em>After that shall they come out and serve Me in this place</em> and 7:9 <em>Into Egypt</em>.</p>
