Deuteronomy 11:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:14

That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season,
&c.] Such a quantity of it as the land required, a sufficiency of it to make it fruitful, and that in proper time:

the first rain and the latter rain;
the former rain in Marchesvan, the latter rain in Nisan, as the Targum of Jonathan; the first fell about our October, which was at or quickly after seedtime, to water the seed that it might take root, and grow and spring up; and the latter fell about March, a little before harvest, to ripen the corn, and swell and plump the ears of it, and make them yield more and better; (See Gill on Joel 2:23),

that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil;
which were the principal things the land afforded for the sustenance of men; bread corn, the stay and staff of human life, and which strengthens man's heart, and makes him fit for labour; wine, which is his drink, and makes the heart of man glad and cheerful; and oil, which in these countries was used instead of butter, and was fattening, and made the face to shine, ( Psalms 104:15 ) . The ingathering of these fruits were at different times; the barley harvest first, the wheat harvest next, and after that the vintage, and the gathering of the olives; and by means of rain in due season they were favoured with each of these.

Deuteronomy 11:14 In-Context

12 It's a land that God, your God, personally tends - he's the gardener - he alone keeps his eye on it all year long.

13 From now on if you listen obediently to the commandments that I am commanding you today, love God, your God, and serve him with everything you have within you,

14 he'll take charge of sending the rain at the right time, both autumn and spring rains, so that you'll be able to harvest your grain, your grapes, your olives.

15 He'll make sure there's plenty of grass for your animals. You'll have plenty to eat.

16 But be vigilant, lest you be seduced away and end up serving and worshiping other gods
