Leviticus 25:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:19

And the land shall yield her fruit
That is, continually, and even in the seventh year, the sabbath of rest; for the land, though not manured, ploughed, and sowed, nor the vines, olives, and fig trees pruned, yet shall yield fruit as in other years, the Israelites observing the statutes and judgments of God: and ye shall eat your fill;
feel no want of provisions, but have fulness of everything as at other times, and never make a scanty meal, having sufficiency and plenty of all things: and dwell therein in safety;
not fearing enemies, nor being disturbed by them, nor carried captive.

Leviticus 25:19 In-Context

17 You must not cheat each other but fear your God because I am the LORD your God.

18 You will observe my rules, and you will keep my regulations and do them so that you can live securely on the land.

19 The land will give its fruit so that you can eat your fill and live securely on it.

20 Suppose you ask, "What will we eat in the seventh year if we don't plant or gather our crops then?"

21 I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year so that it will make enough produce for three years.
