Deuteronomy 11:15

15 And I will give vegetation in your field for your livestock, and {you will eat your fill}.'

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 "And it will happen [that] if you listen carefully to my commandments that I [am] commanding you {today}, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all [of] your heart and with all [of] your soul,
14 then 'I will send the rain for your land in its season, early rain and later rain, and you will gather your grain and your wine and your olive oil.
15 And I will give vegetation in your field for your livestock, and {you will eat your fill}.'
16 {Take care} so that your heart is not easily deceived, and you turn away, and you serve other gods, and you bow down to them.
17 And [then] {the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you}, and he will shut up the heavens, and there shall not be rain, and [so] the ground will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land that Yahweh [is] giving to you.
