Deuteronomy 11:15 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:15

And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle
By giving plentiful showers of rain at proper times, to cause it to spring up and grow, that so there might be food for the cattle of every sort, greater or lesser; see ( Psalms 104:13 Psalms 104:14 ) ( Zechariah 10:1 ) ,

that thou mayest eat and be full;
which refers to the preceding verse as well as to this; and the sense is, that the Israelites might eat of and enjoy the fruits of the earth to satiety; namely, their corn, wine, and oil; and that their cattle might have grass enough to supply them with.

Deuteronomy 11:15 In-Context

13 Now, if you completely obey God's commandments that I am giving you right now, by loving the LORD your God and by serving him with all your heart and all your being,

14 then he will provide rain for your land at the right time—early rain and late rain—so you can stock up your grain, wine, and oil.

15 He will also make your fields lush for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.

16 But watch yourselves! Otherwise, your heart might be led astray so you stray away, serving other gods and worshipping them.

17 Then the LORD's anger would burn against you. He will close the sky up tight. There won't be any rain, and the ground won't yield any of its crops. You will quickly disappear off the wonderful land the LORD is giving to you.
