Leviticus 26:5 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:5

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the
vintage shall reach unto the sowing time
Signifying that there should be such plentiful harvests of barley and wheat, the first of which began in March, as would employ them in threshing them out unto the time of vintage, which may be supposed to, be in the month of July; for on the twenty ninth of Sivan, which was about the middle of June, was the time of the first ripe grapes, as appears, (See Gill on Numbers 13:20); and that they should have such quantities of grapes on their vines, as would employ them in gathering and pressing them until seedtime, which was usually in October, see ( Amos 9:13 ) ; and ye shall eat your bread to the full;
which is put for all provisions; and the meaning is, they should have plenty of food, eat full meals, or however, what they ate, whether little or much, should be satisfying and refreshing to them, having it with a divine blessing: and dwell in your land safely;
would have no need to go out of it into other lands for the sake of food, and would be in no danger from enemies invading them and carrying off their substance; plenty without safety would not be so great a blessing as with it, since, though they had it, they might be deprived of it, wherefore security from enemies is promised.

3 "This is what I will do if you will live by my laws and carefully obey my commands:
4 "I will give you rain at the right time. The land will produce its crops, and the trees in the field will produce their fruit.
5 Threshing time will last until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until planting. You will eat all you want and live securely in your land.
6 "I will bring peace to your land. You will lie down with no one to scare you. I will remove dangerous animals, and there will be no war in your land.
7 You will chase your enemies, and you will defeat them.
