Deuteronomy 11:14

Deuteronomy 11:14

12 a land for which the Lord your God cares; ^athe eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.

13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly¹ obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 then ^aI will give you the rain for your land in its season, ^bthe early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

15 ^aAnd I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may ^beat and be filled.’

16 “Take heed to yourselves, ^alest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and ^bserve other gods and worship them,

17 lest ^athe Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He ^bshut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and ^cyou perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

<< Deuteronomy 11:13

Deuteronomy 11:15 >>

the first rain and the latter rain—The early rain commenced in autumn, that is, chiefly during the months of September and October, while the latter rain fell in the spring of the year, that is, during the months of March and April. It is true that occasional showers fell all the winter; but, at the autumnal and vernal seasons, they were more frequent, copious, and important; for the early rain was necessary, after a hot and protracted summer, to prepare the soil for receiving the seed; and the latter rain, which shortly preceded the harvest, was of the greatest use in invigorating the languishing powers of vegetation (Jeremiah 5:24; Joel 2:23; Amos 4:7; James 5:7).
