Deuteronomy 11:13-15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

GOD'S promises, even in a temporal sense, with respect to earthly blessings, serve to show the wonderful superintendance of the LORD over his people. But we are certainly authorized to accept Israel's history, as forming from beginning to end a subject truly spiritual. And here we find the promise of rain to be sweetly descriptive of the effusion of the SPIRIT. Isaiah 44:3-4; Ezekiel 34:26.

Deuteronomy 11:13-15

13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

15 And I will sendb grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
