Deuteronomy 33
1. The majesty of God
6. The blessings of the twelve tribes
26. The excellence of Israel














with the bountiful harvest
The Hebrew word for "bountiful" is "מִגֶּ֣ד" (miggēd), which conveys a sense of excellence and abundance. This phrase reflects God's provision and blessing upon the land, emphasizing the richness and fertility that comes from His hand. In the context of ancient Israel, agriculture was central to life, and a bountiful harvest was a sign of divine favor. This phrase reminds believers of God's faithfulness in providing for His people, encouraging them to trust in His provision.

from the sun
The sun, or "שָׁ֑מֶשׁ" (shemesh) in Hebrew, is a symbol of constancy and life-giving energy. In the ancient Near East, the sun was crucial for the growth of crops, and its regular rising and setting were seen as a testament to God's order and reliability. This phrase highlights the natural order established by God, where the sun plays a vital role in sustaining life. It serves as a metaphor for God's unwavering presence and the blessings that flow from His creation.

and the abundant yield
The term "abundant" is derived from the Hebrew "מִגֶּ֣ד" (miggēd), similar to "bountiful," emphasizing the overflowing nature of God's blessings. "Yield" refers to the produce or results of one's labor, particularly in agriculture. This phrase underscores the idea that when God blesses the land, it produces more than enough to meet the needs of His people. It is a call to recognize and be grateful for the prosperity that comes from God's hand, encouraging a spirit of thanksgiving and stewardship.

of the seasons
The Hebrew word for "seasons" is "יְרָחִֽים" (yerachim), which can also mean "months." This reflects the cyclical nature of time and the agricultural calendar. In ancient Israel, the seasons dictated the rhythm of life, with each season bringing its own set of tasks and harvests. This phrase acknowledges God's sovereignty over time and the natural order, reminding believers that He orchestrates the seasons for their benefit. It is an invitation to trust in God's timing and to find peace in the regularity and predictability of His creation.

(14) And for the precious fruits.--The "increase of the sun" and "precious things put forth from month to month" (or by night when the moon rules), are next alluded to.
