Leviticus 26:26

When I have broken the staff of your bread — By sending a famine or scarcity of bread, which is the staff and support of man's present life. Ten women — That is, ten or many families, for the women took care for the bread and food of all the family. By weight — This is a sign and consequence both of a famine, and of the baking of the bread of several families together in one oven, wherein each family took care to weigh their bread, and to receive the same proportion which they put in.
